Looks like a very lean summer for the tourist slime in STABmonton, if suckers from Europe continue the boycott!!

This part of a protest against Canada cancelling GST rebates for foreign visitors. As many tour operators stated, "We simply can not afford to lose money on bookings to Canada." European tour operators, because of EU regulations, are unable to pass on to their customers increases in costs, such as being forced to pay the Canadian GST without being able to recover from the Canadian government. The Tourism Industry Association of Canada is very disappointed with the tour operators for their decision to pull out of Rendez-vous Canada. It is a public relations and marketing challenge, president Randy Williams claims. Coming on the heels of all the bad news for tourism in Canada - the over-priced Canuck dollar, SARS, post-911 strict travel security measures at airports, confusion over the US passport rules, and significant crime problems in places such as Edmonton Canada, tourism across canada will really feel the effect of the boycott. It is expected that caribbean destinations, Australia, and even South America should all benefit from the stupidity of the Canadian government. |
