Worldwide tourism trends affecting Banff

A report by Deloitte, one of Canada’s leading consultants for tourism, hospitality and leisure industries, paints a picture of the top 10 trends in tourism in Canada and wordwide. “It’s a really great report because it’s a very insightful and educated overview of the tourism industry as a whole,” said Julie Canning, president and CEO of Banff Lake Louise Tourism. “Sometimes we become focused on our own particular product and what it did is open us up to think about those broader trends.” The report was prepared specifically for Banff Lake Louise Tourism to help inform discussions on the joint Competitiveness Initiative panel with Parks Canada and the Town of Banff. According to the report, 2009 proved to be a difficult year for tourism around the world, but last year saw some signs of recovery from the economic slump.
