Travel
between Canada and other countries
Canadian travel to the United States bounced
back in May, as many Canadian residents took
advantage of an increase in the value of the
Canadian dollar. Travel to Canada from the United
States, however, dropped for a fifth straight
month, as the severe accute respiratory syndrome
(SARS) continued to take its toll.
Travel from overseas countries to Canada also
dropped for the sixth consecutive month in May.
While visits from the United States declined
another 4.1% in May, the number of visitors
from overseas plunged 13.4% from April.
(Unless otherwise specified, data are seasonally
adjusted.)

Canada's
Railway
Castles
Canada is dotted with
famous hotels, castles, inns, lodges and resorts; a
few having existed since pioneer days, while others
are but faded memories. Many of my favorite haunts
remain as attractive as ever, keeping up with the
times, yet retaining their unique charm. Across
Canada, the palatial Banff Springs and Chateau Lake
Louise, Victoria's Empress, Hotel Vancouver,
Edmonton's Mac, Saskatoon's Bessborough, Regina's
Hotel Saskatchewan and Calgary's Palliser are prime
examples. (continued)
Further east, there's the
Fort Garry, Royal York, Chateau Frontenac and
Laurier - the list goes on- and on. Fotomation -
