IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE

Quebec tourism do

MONTREAL (CP) — Que- becers are hitting the beach- es of Maine again, but Amer- icans it seems ate finding Quebec too dear.

Favorable or unfavorable exchange rates notwith- standing, the one-way tourist flow may have more to do with the price of Yankee gas- oline and the U.S. rate of inflation: A Quebecer can go farther for less in the United States. aan 4

Maine has always been a traditional vacation spot for

year they've returned in their more ‘usual high num- bers.

Figures compiled by Stat- ‘istics Canada show that trips by Quebecers to the U.S. in the first six months of this year increased by 12 per cent over the same period in 1982, following an overall drop last year of 11 per cent.

A further indicator comes from a U.S. tourist office in Montreal which says re- quests for information about places along the Eastern sea- board were up 52 per cent in May, June and July, com- pared with a drop of 40. per

cent in the same period last

year.

And an on-the-spot assess- ment from Bill Frazier, city manager in Ogunuit, Me., who says the present sum- mer season has been the best ever, and Quebecers are the reason for it.

Some tourist industry spokesmen attribute the im- provement to a lower rate of inflation in the U.S. with the result. that the real cost ‘of travel in the U.S. is down by 6.5 per cent this year.

* Pierre Payette, who repre- sents Cape May County in New Jersey, notes still an- other factor: the increase in the maximum value of goods that a Canadian can carry back duty free ‘from the

ends or longer holidays, and French is the summertime, lingua franca on the beaches there. For day trips, Lake Champlain is within easier striking distance — the New York side or Vermont.

ment of Commerce: shows that, in terms of sheer tum- bers rather than length of stay or money spent, New York State is the prime tar- get for Quebecers on pleas- ure trips — mostly Lake Champlain, or New York City for longer jaunts. Then comes Vermont, followed by Florida for winter vacation- ers and Maine for the boiled lobster look in‘the summer.

Americans, on the other hand, don’t seem to find Que- bec as appealing.

Trips by Americans into Quebec int the first half of thie yean dropped by one-half of one per cent — not much perhaps. But the Hotel Asso- ciation of Greater Montreal notes that the occupancy rate has fallen this year to 61 per cent from 76 per cent in 1962.

Crafts directory planned

VICTORIA — A new direc- tory of the artisans and crafts that comprise the B.C. crafts industry is to be produced under the sponsorship of the Canada-British Columbia Tra Industry Develop- ment Subsidiary Agreement

“{TIDSA).

The directory will improve public awareness of British Columbia's artisans and their products which are emerging as a major element of the tourism industry.

The directory will be com- piled by the Craftsmen's

Association of B.C. and will provide a catalogue of ar- tisans, crafts, manufacturers, wholesalers and others in the growing B.C. crafts industry, plus’an inventory of infor- mation on the quality and quantity of B.C. products available for crafts produc- tion.

One of the key issues to be examined by the authors will be the potential for replacing

‘imported materials used in

B.C.-produced crafts with domestic materials. The Association believes

that using British Columbia
