to Japanese tourists

Miss Pat Shannon,
representing the Regional
District of Kitimat-Stikine
during the course of a meeting
wilh Mr. Kanzmatsu, Executive
Vice-President of the Japan

~ Travel Agents to the impressive

“touris:{ attraction, K'san

‘Village near Hazelton, last
month,

Although costs of such ex-
peditions have not as yet been
firmed up it was anticipated
that the cost of such tours would
be in the neighborhood of $75 to.
$100 per day, per person. This
cost would include a complete
package deal with guide,
wrangler, cook, horses,
acommodation ete.

In addition to camera safaris
hunting trips could be arranged
in the same manner.

Miss Shannen, in a report
hande d into the Regional
District indicates that the
Japanese travel executive
showed considerable interest in
the idea and has asked that
additional information on the
proposed tours be sent to him in
Japan.

The idea suggests that these
tours last.from five to ten. days

‘and that the parties be mate up -
- of from foiir'to.ten people. —

The suggestion cc-incides
with a report received from
Japan Air Line s of a survey
whichit conducted showing that
the Canadian Tourist Industry
will profit from an “un-

- precedented growth'’ of

Japanese tourism. Canada
received 22,000 Japanese
tourists in 1970 "and the figure is
said to be increasing rapidly,
