accidental tourists in Canada unless the industry adjusts to ma jor market changes the Canadian Tourism Research Institute says An aging population cheaper air fares and a trend toward shorter vacations are affecting where US vacationers take their holidays And statistics show they are spen ding less time here says the in part of the Conference Board of Canada One disturbing trend is their in creasing vacation travel abroad and to Mexico at the expense of visits to Canada particularly On tario the institute says in a re cent newsletter US travel to Canada appears to have reached a point of growth Thats bad news for operators because Americans are by far the most numerous visitors here In 1987 they accounted for twothirds of the billion spent by tourists in Canada Last summer Ontario Manitoba and Saskatchewan experienced a decrease in US automobile visitors staying two nights or more Some resort operators reported a 60per cent drop in bookings in Ontario which normally accounts for 57 per cent of such travellers The picture is not all gloom and doom During the same period Nova Scotia New Brunswick Alberta and B C enjoyed healthy increases of five to 13 per cent in the same category of visitors But the institute says Canada is beginning to slip as a vacation choice for Americans who last summer spent billion here While overseas travel by US citizens will likely grow by five per cent this year travel to Canada will be up only one per cent The biggest factor causing a shift in US travel patterns is the ubiquitous baby boomer Born 1945 and boomers now make up onethird of the US population up from per cent in MORE FLYING This huge chunk of potential tourists is now reaching the prime flying age that statistical point when most people do much of their travel by air At the same time deregulation of the US airline industry has brought about cheaper fares The combination means more Americans are inclined to take overseas trips That could hurt Canada because the traditional and largest group of US visitors has been families tour ing by car or recreational vehicle with kids in tow The rubbertire traveller accounted for per cent of the market the Institute says Hie changing nature of the US family is also playing a role In tourism With more families head ed by two working parents arrang ing long vacations is more dif ficult HYUNDAI OWNERS For Service Call Vacations are shorter although Americans are travelling more Weekend trips are increas ing at a faster pace than longer ex cursions the institute says If the trend towards more fre quent but shorter trips continues we can expect to see in Canada a corresponding decrease in the traditional family- travel market Businesses which cater to the tour ing traveller such as rural motels and urban hotels are likely to see less business from Americans in the future Boomers are having fewer children and having them later in life which alters the traditional familytouring type vacation These couples appear to be better targets for get away vacations of threetofive nights rather than twoweek marathons FURTHER AWAY Another factor affecting US tounsm here is the exodus of retired Americans to the warmer climate of the Sun Belt This presents a tremendous challenge for our tourism industry Not only is the US population in some cases moving further away from Canada they are moving to areas which have a highly com petitive advantage over the tounsm products Canada has to of fer Within a decade some SO per cent of Amencans will live within an hours drive of a coast When they decide to vacation at a resort they are less inclined to look towards Canada While Canada has developed firstclass resort areas it is dif ficult to compete with the beaches sunbathing and climate that the majority of Americans now have within an hours drive The institute says Canadian operators have to rethink marketing strategies in light of all these changes Among those areas with good growth potential are the packagetour bus market get away city vacations and high- quality hunting or fishing expedi tions Canadas image among US travellers as a country of safe clean and relatively inexpensive cities should help to draw more getaway business But the tourism industry and governments have much promotional work to do to draw more Americans CORRECTION NOTICE In our April advertsiement for Bruce Hardwood
