Banff looks south for ski tourists
Article Abstract:
Banff and Lake Louise ski resorts are shifting their advertising and marketing attention from Japanese tourists to US tourists in the coming winter 1998 season to cope with the declining number of visitors from Japan. Canadian Pacific Hotels, for one, began a five-year campaign directed to visitors from the US as they are considered to be the business' top market in the next few years. While Banff and Lake Louise resorts are increasing their efforts to lure US tourists as well as those from Europe, Alberta resorts are still targeting Japanese visitors and are repositioning themselves as a must-see destination.
