WEDNESDAY; JULY 17, 2002 OPINION GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD We need tourism slanders whose livelihood depends on the tourist trade have discov­ I ered in recent months just how tenuous that trade can be. WHAT·s A OOOBlE? Retailers, restaurants, galleries, studios and market vendors are among the first to feel the impact of a downward turn in tourist traf­ fic. Not everyone reported that business was down in a recent survey conducted by this newspaper, but there were enough to indicate that fewer visitors have travelled to the islands so far this year. There are several reasons for this. The terrorist attacks of last September are stili having an impact, though their effect is declining with the passage of time. Weather has been another big factor and so are economic concerns. Besides all that, it is also important to remember that around the world there are a great many destinations competing for visitors. All this is to say that there is no room for complacency in the tourist industry. Earlier this year on Salt Spring, Islands Trust representatives won­ dered how many tourists are too many, suggesting that there had to be a limit. We suggest a limit will be imposed by market and other forces, just as we have been seeing in the past few months. f~ We also suggest that Salt Spring and the other islands must pay greater heed to the need for promoting the tourist industry. This is even more important in light of efforts by the Trust to restrict ferry transportation. Published every Wednesday by Driftwood Publishing ltd.
