Visiting Canada

A news item the other day listed countries that appealed to
tourists. Canada was way down the list and came out only marginally
ahead of Iraq! I couldn't believe it. Is the climate a problem
for tourists? Or has Canada priced itself out of the market?

The survey was internationally-based and reputable apparently.

Got a link to it? News like that would be high profile in Canada, since the
tourism industry has already taken a hit from SARS. I'd like to see a link.

Sorry no link - was not on the net, but in our newspaper which is "The
New Zealand Herald". It has a website. It was one day last week -
can't remember which day though. It must have come via some
international newslink I would think - as most of our news does. This
newspaper also regularly reprints articles from The Guardian, The
Observer, The Independent, The New York Times and Newsweek. So we are
pretty well served really and the range is quite eclectic.
