That %#@*&! Canadian Dollar! – Part II

So what is this doing to tourism down on the South Shore? Well, no one who has a business dependent on tourism is shooting up fireworks. The strong dollar has put a damper on room sales and real estate, that’s for sure.

But is it? To combat the absence of the American dollar White Point Beach Resort has increased its advertising in Canadian markets and, most notably, locally. Die hard Yankee dollar fans are beginning to see a silver lining in the rising dollar’s dark cloud in that the empty rooms once reserved for our American visitors are now being taken up by people from Nova Scotia and Canada.

In addition their Vacation Club, in conjunction with Resort Condominiums International, has brought a new type of clientèle, some of which have never appreciated the northern areas.

The inclusion of the Golf Course under the the White Point umbrella has also added benefits to the resort. Under the guidance of golf pro Dave Kemshead the 9-hole PGA course is one of the wonders of Nova Scotia sport whose vistas parallel Pebble beach.

So, dollar be damned. Take a vacation!
