The new social director so filled her agenda that there was no room left, but it will definitely be scheduled for spring. The next pancake breakfast is Nov. 2.

This is the first in a series of monthly columns designed to provide relevant information, facts and figures about the tourism industry of Super, Natural North By Northwest (NXNW) British Columbia. Data used in this column is from published studies and is available to all residents of British Columbia. ‘ Tourism statistics in British Columbia are grouped into resident and non-resident components. Due to differing data collections and analysis approaches of each constituency, combining figures is not straightforward. what is apparent, however, is the relative strength of northwestern B.C.’s tourism economy. In 1989, the NXNW region accounted for 5,4 percent of the over all B.C, resident tourist flow and 4 percent of the non-resident flow. Given that northwestern B.C. accounts for 3.4 percent of the provincial population base, the industry here is per- forming ahead of the B.C. average on a per capita basis. . . Resident Travel Patterns ‘In 1989, the NXNW Tourism Region experienced 1,230,000 person trips by British Columbians, 5.4 nt of the overall B.C. resident tourist flow. OF this, 45 percent (553,500 person trips) were under- - taken by NXNW residents and 55 percent (676,500) by British Columbians coming to the region from elsewhere in the province. Trip purpose for B.C. resident travel is as follows: Visiting Friends and Relatives, 37 percent; Person- al, 10 percent; Business, 18 percent; City, 7 per- cent; Outdoors & Adventure, 18 percent; Touring, 7 percent; Resort, 2 percent; Other, 1 percent. From this data we can conclude that 27 percent of the res- ident travel in B.C. is natural resource based. While this is lower than for non-residents (59 percent), it is significant, that of all the travel sectors which can be truly considered tourism’ and leisure-oriented, outdoors/adventure accounts for the largest portion of B.C. resident activity. Non-Resident Travel Patterns In 1989, 452,000 visitors from outside B.C. spent at least one night in the NXNW Tourism Region and generated revenues of $96 million. Over half of non- B.C. visitor parties to the region came from the Unit- ed States (53 percent), while 29 percent were from the rest of Canada and 18 percent were from over- seas, Compared to the provincial averages, the NXNW region attracts substantially more numbers of Ameri- cans (+11 percent), and international travelers (+8 percent) but considerably fewer Canadians from other provinces (-19 percent). Analysis shows that tourism in northwestern B.C. is especially resource-dependent, particularly for the “non-resident component (59 percent). This regional natural resource reliance is higher than the B.C. aver- age (42 percent) as a result of both the touring and outdoors/adventure products playing a far Jarger role in the northwest than for the province as a whole. Next month we will look at the economic impact of a number of tourism sectors with Super, Natural North By Northwestem B.C.
