...this area will likely be part of the new Innovation District...

Lest it suffers the fate of its predecessor.

I usually direct tourists to take a stroll down Pandora.

Was the quiet phase-put of the district by-design?

B.C. welcomed 595,795 foreign overnight visitors in June, according to new Destination British Columbia number crunching of Statistics Canada data.

 

That is down 28.5 per cent from the same month in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic virtually ground international travel to a halt.

 

That decline in relation to months in 2019 has been holding steady. 

 

In May, the province's 439,677 foreign overnight visitor count was down 28.6 per cent from the same month in 2019. May's total was up 54.1 per cent from May 2022, while in June, the increase over last June was a comparatively low 48.8 per cent. 

 

Normalized travel by Mexicans was one reason for the softer June visitor data.

About 600,000 people visit Goldstream Park every year, especially during the summer and fall salmon-spawning months.

If that figure is accurate, how does that place it as an attraction in Victoria?

Sounds way too high but may be possible with campsite, school groups, hikers etc. included.

 

In the fall of 2023 in about 9 weeks the visitor center ambassadors had contact with 40,580 visitors. 20,000 a month in their busy time.

 

No indication of how that number of about 600 000 was created.

Every day there are many hundreds who visit the park to hike the trails. In the summer I’m sure it’s into the thousands. It’s hugely popular. Every time I drive by the parking lots are full, so I believe that figure.
