Your Helper to Small Business Terrace Bay resident wants ideas Dear Ed: I am seriously considering going into a tourist business. In my terms, this will be no small venture. I will be puttting everything I've got into this business, including mortgaging my home to the hilt. What I want to know isif tourism is a growing or declining market and where can I get infor- mation that will make me feel more secure in this venture? L.K. in Terrace Bay Dear L.K.: Since you haven't told me what type of tourist business you are considering, I will only be albe to answer in general terms. Firstly, I would recommend that you contact your local Community Futures Corporation (Leslie Dick- son, Co-ordinator at 825-9688) and your local Chamber of Com- merce(Ken Randel, President) and the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation in Thunder Bay (475- 1325) and ask them for recent area Statistics and general tourist infor- mation. I would also strongly recom- mend that you contact the Northern Ontario Tourist Operators Association (P.O. Box 1140, North ' Bay, Ont, P1B 8K4 or phone (705) 472-5552. Secondly, I wish to quote the Hotel and Restaurant Hospitality Market Report of 1987 under the section of travel and tourism Trends: "Tourism expenditures, including fares, expanded at a rate of 6 per cent annually for 1975 to 1983; growth is forecast at 7 per cent per yeaar to 1990 and 8 per cent annually from 1990 to 1995." It sure looks like a growth industry to me. If you wish me to help you more specifically, please write me again, or call me collect and I will give you the best advice I can.
