Where have all the tourists gone?
Where have all the tourists gone? In an increasingly computer saavy world many tourists are simply opting to do their own research and plan their own trips. But what about me? I studied intensively (yeah, right!) for two weeks to be able to help tourists maximize their time in our great province but no one is calling! Emails and web requests up the wazoo, but no calls! Do we live in such an impersonal world now that most people would rather stare at a computer screen than listen to my delightful voice. I, personally, would rather talk to a real for 45 minutes than get increasingly frustrated with my computer and huck it out the window. Perhaps I'm just not as computer saavy as the rest but who needs a computer when you have it all right up here (she says as she points to her head)? And we wonder why we're so stressed out. I think its sad that people are able to profit from our frazzled-ness by opening a spa and charging 300 dollars an hour for relaxation. Sad thing is people are willing to pay. I used to work at a spa, I should know. Vacations are a good way to relax (unless of course you're vacationing with me. Then plan a vacation for after your vacation) and they cost about the same as some spa treatments. Go see the world! See it before our selfish consumer driven society wipes it out and there's nothing left to see. Or before the US requires an MRI scan of your body before they'll let you through their border. Because really, when you're old its not the millions of dollars in your bank account that will make you happy, it's the experiences you have.
