Tourism Prince Rupert CEO Bruce Wishart was the speaker at the October 19 Chamber of Commerce luncheon and spoke about the 2011 tourist season, projections for the 2012 season and some of the challenges facing the industry.
Strange, he was quite quiet about the state of the Cruise ship industry here and how it might impact on the tourism sector.
In fairness to Bruce, that part was left out due to space but will be added. He said the following:
“The loss of the weekly ship - we put a dollar value on the ship, but the dollar value doesn’t tell the whole story. For some operators that is all, or a large part of, their annual reliable income.”

Uh ok, but really your story then doesn’t really capture the full scope of the “tourism” industry, if it leaves out part of the story that involves all or part of their annual reliable income.
