Summer Canada grant. Nancy1'isher is
her assistant, she and Debi Moore are paid
by the town of Goderich. And Elizabeth
Bundy, the fourth worker, is hired through
the Southwestern Ontario Tourist
Association (SWOTA).
The above scenario is not so farfetched,
according to these four workers. They say
that tourists often do ask if there is a
McDonald's in Goderich; in fact, it is one
of the most common questions they get.
Another common question is whether
there is any accommodation available "on
the water." The hostesses say that it is
fortunate lately on weekends if there is
accommodation at all. Finding places to
stay is really getting to be'a problem, and
for the past couple of weekends everything
is booked up at least by suppertime on
Saturday_
The travel centre has.fa list .of people in
the area who offer bed -and -breakfast to
tourists, and even those are being booked
up. If nothing else is available, the only
alternative is to send the tourists on to
Kincardine or Clinton where there might
still be vacancies,
The hostesses also said they have been
told that all the accommodation in
Goderich is already booked solid for the
long Labour Day weekend.
A third question they are often asked iS
whether the salt mine gives tours, which it
does not. And a lot of tourists come in
wondering where the beer and liquor
stores are in town. That is a question they
often seem embarrassed about asking.
The tourist centre is open every day of
the week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. It has been
very busy there this summer, with an
estimated 500 parties visiting the centre
each week. That translates in .o well over
1,000 tourists a week.
pebbie, who worked at the centre five
years ago, says that it's a lot busier now
than it ever was then.
American tourists are very common at
the booth; over half of the people who
come in are Americans, say the hostesses.
Canada is a favorite vacation spot
especially now for Americans because
they get such a good exchange rate on
their money. And the Bicentennial
activities In Ontario have been a big draw
for American tourists.
People seem to be split equally as to
whether they are planning to stay in
Goderich for a while, or whether they are
just passing through on the way to
somewhere else. Although the Goderich
booth is a member of the Southwestern
Ontario tourist association, most
travellers ask for information on places to
the north of Goderich like Sauble Beach
and Tobermory. The booth has pamphlets

These four students are travel counsellors this summer at the tourist information centre in
Goderich. In front is Elizabeth Bundy, and left to right behind her are assistant supervisor
Nancy Fisher, supervisor Debbie Shaddlck and Debi Moore. The centre is open from 9 a.m.
to 9 p.m. seven days of the week until Lab dr Day. (photo by Darrell Kloeze)
and information on vacation spots and
points of interest from all over Ontario.
The tourist counsellors have a number of
tasks other than welcoming visitors to
Goderich. They will give guided tours of
the town tp bus groups if they are
interested; they also have some
paperwork to do. .
The town of Goderich has bought part of
a full page ad for Southwestern' Ontario in
the Detroit Free Press .every weekend
during the summer, and many interested
people write asking for more information
on the town. The tourist counsellors send a
package of information to everybody who
asks for it, and they say they send an
average of 50 packages a week in response
to the Detroit newspaper ad.
The centre has -received guests not only
from Canada and the U.S., but from Italy,
the Netherlands, Germany, Norway,
Australia, and Egypt, to name a few.
Of course, the hostesses have their fair
share of amusing anecdotes about tourists
who really do not know anything'abo it the
country. Everybody asks for a road map of
Canada, and the hostesses tell them
maybe they would be better off ,to start
with a map of Ontario. They meet a
number of people who have little idea of
the distances involved to get to the places
they have heard about, whether it be
Sudbury or the Rocky Mountains.
• But there are the good parts about the
job too, and top on the list are the people
who really appreciate the friendly service
and the pretty town. People have
commented on how nice the flowers are in
town, and how clean the streets are.
One man, they say, noticed there were
no garbage cans in town (or did not know
where to look for them). "Doesn't anybody
live here?" he asked. ' •
The tourist centre also offers
information about other tourist spots in
Ontario for people who do live here, as well,
as for visitors who are planning further
adventures after their rest in Goderich.
