Tourism Numbers Holding Despite Wet Summer

The wet summer so far -- and -- tighter security at the U-S border are creating some bumps in provincial tourism numbers. But Tourism Minister Stuart Jamieson tells CHSJ News overall numbers aren't bad with numbers up at some historical attractions and the Fundy Trail while some outside attractions have suffered thank to the cool wet weather. Jamieson says the passport requirement at the U-S border has kept more Americans away -- but -- more Canadians especially from Ontario and Quebec are staying in Canada and visiting our province. In addition -- the Acadien Congress on the North Shore is helping to boost numbers in that area.
