MONTHLY LETTER The tourist trade of Canada has lately become a subject of first importance to West Vancouver in view of the govern­ ment survey now being made of the North Shore to determine all its potentialities as one of the great national playgrounds On^road lines any new country depends chiefly for its alt motion to tourists on the works o f God. The older cdiin- IricH on the other hand, rely for the most part on the works of man. Centuries of achievement by skilled workmen, who .strove for quality rather than quantity, have left their imr jiress all over those pairts of Europe and Asia where civiliza- I tioiis have flourished. ̂ , ■ ' The tourist trade is of Canada's greatest sources of revenue. According to an estimate made by the Minister of Trade and Commerce for the year 1937, which is the latest jit present available, the total revenue from this source for the period named was $294,682,000. This was made up> as follows: (1) Those coming in via ocean p( r̂ts, $16,972,000; (2) those entering from the United States by (a) automobile, ,$181,332,000; (b) by rail or steamer, $69,751,000, and (c) by oOlei^odes of travel such as bus, aeroplanes, ferries, etc., $26,627iW- ' -The diyision of these expenditures by, provinces for those cmtering from the United States by auto was: Maritime Prov­ inces, $12,390,000; Quebec, $36,033,000;. . Ontario, $117,029,- 000; Manitoba, $2,321,000; Saskatchewan, $946,000; Alberta $1,115,000; and British Columbia, $11,498,000. It will be noticed ^ a t those provinces which have the least to offer in, the way of natural scenery benefit least from the tourist. The probable reason .for the figures for our prov­ ince being, less than those of the Maritime Provinces, Quebec, and Ontario, is that these last named parts'of Canada are nearer the big centres of population in the United States. °----- ^And-we in-this nrovince-n^d-paved-or-surfaced^highways-^ and still more highways, .if we are to reap the full benefit of the advantages nature ^ s giyen..us.. For the American, tourist is accustomed to good huto, roads all over, his own country, and he refuses to travel on anything less. Much has been heard of this the last-few years in the daily press. \ There are those who maintain the tourist is not a sp e n to in spite of the fact that it is .obviously only a half tru^h. The average tourist, like all who are on a holiday, will spend money freely,' but- only^if theref^^m etlH ng fior-hini'.to spendr it on.
