Travel-log
Winter 2000
The Winter 2000 issue of Travel-log, Statistics Canada's quarterly tourism newsletter, features the article "More skiers and snowboarders are visiting Canadian ski areas". Over the last 20 years, the Canadian ski industry has undergone some major changes. Having suffered some setbacks, it had to make adjustments and take a more innovative, creative approach to survive. Now this hard work seems to be paying off. All indications are that 1998-99 was an excellent year for the industry.
This study explores the development of the ski industry in Canada and examines the characteristics of American travellers who visited Canada to ski or snowboard during an overnight stay in the winter of 1998-99. The study also compares the market situation with the two previous winters and looks at characteristics of overseas skier/snowboarders and their contribution to the economy.
Each quarter, Travel-log examines the trends of the Travel Price Index. It also features the latest travel indicators, travellers' characteristics and the international travel account.
The Winter 2000 issue of Travel-log (87-003-XPB, $13/$42; 87-003-XIB, $10/$32) is now available. See How to order publications.
