Tourism is
big business
all across
this country
GODERICH - Huron County re-
cently received recognition for its
work towards a detailed report and
informative brochure promoting
tourism in the county.
Tourism is big business all across
Canada.
Last week, the tourism industry
was brought to the forefront of dis-
cussions at the Federal Liberal Ru-
ral Caucus held in Goderich. The
caucus, hosted by co-chair Huron -
Bruce MP Paul Steckle, gave sev-
eral Ontario associations a chance
to voice their concerns.
"We feel tourism is an industry
that has often been neglected," said
Andy Griffit, president of the Mus-
koka Tourism Association.
Canada, he explained, employs
1.2 million people through tourism
but has recently slipped from sixth
to tenth in popularity of countries
visited.
"Tourism is important because it
creates jobs and produces revenue,"
said Griffit. "We in Canada attract
12 million U.S. visitors. They
spend $500 on each visit."
Griffit was promoting one of the
most visited areas in the province
as the Muskokas have, as he de-
scribed, fresh air and cold water.
But not all areas have such natural
attractions and have to work hard to
bring in tourists.
"I don't know how areas can de-
velop a strong vibrant program
without some assistance," said Es-
sex -Windsor MP Sue Whhtan. '
Last year, Japan spent/$440 mil-
lion on tourism, France dished out
$100 million and the United States
just $23 million. And how about
Canada? How much do the Liberals
put into attracting visitors?
"For the, first time, our Prime
Minister has spoken the word 'tour-
ism'," said Griffit who was pleased
to say the government will be fat-
tening its usual $20 million budget
up to $50 million.
But while the tourism business.,is
grateful for the financial shot iri'the
arm, it seems that money is not the
only thing the tourism associations
across the province are asking for.
"We're not asking for your mon-
ey. We're asking for your moral
support. Tourism is something last
in government at times but it
should be put back on the front
burner," said Griffit. "We encour-
age you to take this back to head-
quarters to nourish and love."
Some figures about tourism he
quoted included the fact that 14
percent of dollars spent go towards
accommodations and 30 percent to
food and beverage.
"If we can encourage tourism in
these tough times, we all win," said
Griffit.
London -West MP Sue Barnes
said tourism is becoming a bigger
issue for members of the rural cau-
cus. She pointed out difficulties
arising at border crossings.
"It's more of a policing voice than
a welcoming voice," said Barnes.

OONSEIMTI
FOUNDATION
What can the planting of a tree
actually do?
When it's part of the Dinney
Funeral Home Commemorative
Woods Program it can do a lot.
By planting a tree in the Ausable
Conservation Area in honour of a
loved one, you can help heal
sorrow by paying lasting tribute
to that special person. In
a4dition, a memorial tree will
hep assure a better environment
for future generations, combating
the greenhouse effect's
destruction of the earth's ozone
layer by replenishing our
depleting forests.
For each individual whose
funeral arrangements are
conducted through the Dinney
Funeral Home, a tree will be
planted free of charge. The name
of the deceased will be engraved
on our Commemorative Woods
Plaque located at our chapel, and
a dedication service will be held
in the fall at the Morrison Dam
Conservation Area. Tree planting
will be supervised by the Ausable
Bayfield Conservation Authority.
For just $35 (payable to the
Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Foundation this program is also
available to those not served by
Dinney Funerat Home. An "In
Memorium Card" will be sent to
confirm the planting of your
loved one's memorial tree and an
increase tax receipt will be issued
to you by the ABCA.
For more information on how
planting a memorial tree can
benefit you and the environment,
call Disney Funeral Home today.
