Looks like a very lean summer for the tourist slime in STABmonton, if

In a headline news story today published across Canada, German and
Dutch tour operaters will now start to boycott Canada.


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.
