News TheReview Wednesday, August 7,1991 — A2 Task force proposes tourism sirategy A government-sponsored tour- ism task force has presented its report on tourism opportunities on Vancouver Island. Task force chairperson Norma Sealey said: “Now we have the tools we need to develop tourism in the best way possible.” In a news release, the former Sidney mayor said although many communities are successfully increasing their share of the tour- ism dollar, “the Vancouver Island/ Coast region lacked an overall tourism development strategy which identified specific opportu- nities in a uniquely regional con- text.” The task force was set up last year. It was comprised of tourism operators and tourism association representatives. It reviewed reports, interviewed people in the field and conducted eight public meetings. A sub-committee of the task force is supposed to guide imple- mentation of the recommenda- tions. Recommendations include Strengthening transportation links, especially the Island Highway, and construction of a freeway from Parksville to Campbell River. The task force calls for impro- ved financial support for tourism Neire OCENIC INNER HARBOUR wy); TOURS AVAILABLE Shmiley Cfaters call 380-8481 (24 hrs.)

Philp said: “We were a little bit concerned (about the weather). We knew it was going to clear out. It was just a matter of when.” He said a rough count put the crowd in the 20,000 to 25,000 range. A final tally won’t be known for a few days. The show was organized by the society. It was the third within the last half decade. The show was first held in 1987, and repeated again in 1989. In even-numbered years, the venue shifts to Comox. Philp said the society should break even once all the bills are paid. The hope was to make enough money to establish a bur- sery for an air engineering course for the Cadets, and to make a contribution to the British Colum- bia Aviation Museum, but it’s too soon to tell if that is possible. A highlight of the airshow included the spectacular routine of Sean Tucker, of Salinas, Calif. The North American aerobatic cham- pion in 1988, he performed a unique sky-dance in a highly- modified Stroker 540. Joann Osterud, flying a Cana- dian-built, custom-designed plane was another crowd pleaser. T. J.
