Looking to the 19635 season,

“10 per cent increase in business over last year.”

PEOPLE CURIOUS

Mr. Stewart said he sees two factors that lead him to belive that 1965 will be a successful year in the tourist industry. He said “I think there is a tremend- ous amount of curiousity among people all over North America as a result of the world-wide pub- licity this province received last

| year. Many people will want to

come to see the places where Centennial celebrations were carried out, and the places visit- ed by Queen Elizabeth.

Another factor that may lead to a large number of visitors is that they..may

Looking at the 1964 season, Mr. Stewart said “it was the most outstanding the province has ever experienced. A record 333,- 951 persons visited the province, spending a record 312,687,430. This was an outstanding contrib- ution to the economy and was all in cash.” :

Mr. Stewart said that camping was popular last year with at- tendance at camp _ grounds breaking all records. He said that two out of the five camp- grounds that had the highest

| attendance in the province last |year were located in Kings | County.

Mr. Stewart said parks are gaining in popularity and are “becoming quite a drawing card.”” He said some resort op- erators were reported to the jealous of the park but this is

He said “there are potential customers in every trucKklead of campers. Camping is a new force in the economy. It has been estimated that 39,000,000 Americans camp each year. This is beneficial to the food and clothing industry and the automotive and drug industry. Alert people meet the needs of these campers.”

Mr. Stewart said Centennial Year activities were “the main drawing card of the province in 1964."” He said the success of the centennial was “phenomonal™ in the province. “It was so much of a success.” he said, “that other provinces are enquiring about it | “The minister said fits of the vear were greater than the cost.” He said the eov- ernment, over three years. spent $420,009 on Centennial prepara- tions but the province received | widespread publicity greater |than any other vear.
