"...So that Our Visitors
will be Sorry to Leave"
"If we are going to invite people to this country,
we must be honest with them . . Courtesy costs
nothing and is one of our greatest tourist assets
. Let us so treat strangers within our gates
that it will be easy for them to come, pleasant for
them to stay, and difficult for them to leave."
Rt. Hon, R. B. BENNETT, Prime Mill ister of Canada, 3169I Cana-
dian rterociarion of Twist and Publicity &reams, November 6, 2934.
Canada!s tourist activities represent more than a great industry from
which everybody benefits. They provide an opportunity to create what the
Prime Minister has described as "that feeling of neighbourliness" which is
such a vital factor in building up cordial relations within the family of nations.
Nr both these reasons, may I urge upon the people of Canada the im-
portance of showing consideration, courtesy and honesty to guests of our
country? Let us all do those little acts of kindness which count for so much
when one travels in a strange land.
We have a beautiful country. We must keep it so. We Want our visitors
to travel highways free from disfigurement, walk the streets of cities that
are orderly and clean, and find at the end of every day's travel an inviting
spot to rest. Canadians should turn their attention now to the important
work of preparing for next year's tourist season.
e.hrs a nation, we are advertising abroad the attractions of Canada as a
holiday land. We must see to it that our guests return home with only the
happiest recollections—and the determination to come back again and again.
or should we forget, in planning our own vacations, that there are
beauties to discover and friendships co be made in our neighbouring prov-
inces. We live in one of the world's most glorious playgrounds—let us
learn to know better the rich variety of ics travel attractions.
