Strikes, Poor Accommodation Worse Than Demonstrations —

By CLAUDE HENAULT

MONTREAL (CP)—A _ recent eurvey by the Montreal tourist bureau shows that the tourist is not much frightened by bombs and demonstrations but can be put to flight by below- standard accommodation

A spokesman for the bureau said that, while ‘‘incidents such @s the Victoria Day hombings and demonstrations and the dynamiting of the United States consulate in Montreal don't help, they have not caused any significant drop in tourism."

“However, the recent gaso- line strike in the province may have bad effects as many. tour- tsts were trapped -during their vacations and others may have stayed away to avoid inconven- ience."’

Incidents such as the gasoline strike by retailers here last July can have~a-bad effect be- cause the returned tourist tells his story to others back home, he. said.

Bureav director Lucien Berg- éron said the survey was made following ‘‘the publication of rumors which claimed that the Montreal hotel industry this year was siffering a. serious drop in the tourist trade." SURVEY COVERS JULY

The survey covered the month of July and almost all of Mont- real Island's major motels and hotels co-operated in it.

The inquiry showed that the aggregate room occupancy for July in 1965 was 72.8 per cent of the possible maximum as against 73.8 per cent: for July~

Mr Bergeron said that at

Hirst glancé this “would “seem: to”

indicate a one-per-cent drop in the number of visitors but added that this was not so as there were 859 additional hotel fooms in the city in 1965.

As this increase of 859 rooms represents more than 10 per cent of the total number of tooms covered in the survey, Mr. Bergeron said it is evident that there was.no drop in tour- tsm during the month.

However, the survey indicated there was a trend toward the new and more modern estab-

lishments. These operated at an eccupancy rate of 78.86 per eent. A

Certain hotels suffered

greater drops in occupaney than others. The percentage which in 1964 had an occupancy level of less than 6 per cent was 9.2 per cent, but this inereased to 11.8 per cent the following year.

This indicated that certain motels and hotels were picking up increasingly greater shares lof the business.

GIVES REASONS

Mr. Bergeron said the survey gave Various reasons why some establishments felt greeter drops in room occupafcy than the average,

“The new_roadsideestablish- ment appeals to the passerby without reservations and there is a North American trend to- ward jJeaving family vehicles outside of downtown traffic in all big ‘cities.

“Thus, old hotels which have failed to modernize for decades find they are being avoided by the summer trade.”

In the case of Montreal, the

report said, ‘‘some_ establish- ments are currently being ren- ovated while others have been affected by changes in provin- cial highway patterns or route modifications due to auto routes and expressways."’

A bureau spokesman said these trends could lead to ‘‘hard times for the centre of the city.”

The report concluded that 1965

would have been a record tour-|

ist-year for the city if high prices, difficult” access, out- moded accommodation and, to some extent; a gasoline strike in_July__and ‘regrettable _inci- dents” had not interfreed.

The report _also-.said_ that the number of tourists who regis- tered at the city’s information centre was double that. of the previdus year during the same month.

This indicated that. though possibly twice as many tourists passed through the city, most of them did not: stay.
