lpoutine,
Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Steps to building our economy" in forum "Victoria and South Island Economy".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the past I have said there are some things we could do to step up our economy, and tourism is a good place where we have an advantage, if somewhat seasonal in most of the country.
A few ideas:
1. Make travle to this country EASY by making sure we staff border and entry-points well
2. Improve airport where necessary
3. ADD international arrival points
4. IMPROVE our public realm everywhere, but subsidizing storefront and signage improvements and replacements
5. Plant more trees in public areas
6. Open more public or private campgrounds
7. REMOVE all grafitti the day it occurs
8. Build more parks and promote better the ones we have, from small municipla parks to huge provincial and national parks.
9. Have more festivals or destination events - why do artists do Vegas or New York "residencies" when we could have them in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.
10. PROMOTE and improve BC Ferries, to make them a better experience on all roues - add a second class?
11. Make our cities SAFER, even if we probably already have a rpetty good reputation for that.
These are some general ideas than can be applied across the country.
I will also add what we coud do locally.
