1420. booming tourism

Qin Shiou sat with Winnie at the front of the car and asked, "Are you beautiful?"

Winnie smiled sweetly and said, "At least it's very interesting, much more interesting than on the eve of Christmas in our Winnipeg."

The smoke gun gave two people a conch boat light. Qin Shiou saw words on it and shines it with the headlight. A line of words was written on both sides of the conch polished flat and smooth: May the world treat us gently, and may God coexist with us forever.

This kind of lamp originally means a blessing lamp. People come to release it on the eve of Christmas, and at first it was to pray.

The crew led by Cameron was filming in another direction. There were multiple scenes by the lake, a temporary small track was laid, and cameras were constantly driving around on it like a train.

On the dock of Chenbao Lake, Leonardo was flirting with the heroine. Seeing the two of them putting on the boat lights together, Qin Shiou scratched his arm and muttered: "Shete, this movie must have failed! Disaster movies are not art films, so why do you do this kind of virtue?"

Winnie said: "You are so stupid. Do you think the things they shoot will be released? Of course not! There will be editing in the later stages, and many unsuitable shots will be cut."

Qin Shiou recognized this, which is common sense in movies, but he didn't want to discuss this, which was a shame.

Hugging his wife and daughter, Qin Shiou took out his cell phone and recorded the night with crazy selfies.

The next day was Christmas Eve, and the town was shrouded in the Christmas atmosphere. The shops on both sides of the street played songs such as Christmas carols regardless of day or night.

The shops in the town were selling at low prices, and they had stocked up for a month, and they were dumped out in the past two days. When Qin Shiou drove to the town to buy bells, he heard horns at the doors of several stores shouting in Chinese, "There are big sales for jumping off the building, there are invoices."

Relying on tourism, the town is developing thriving. Qin Shiou remembers that he had read a document from Winnie. He said that he said goodbye to the town, the per capita GDP of all Newfoundland in the three quarters this year, has entered the top three of all Newfoundland towns!

Now not only are Chinese tourists coming to the farewell town, but also many American tourists and tourists from other parts of Asia.

The reason for this is not only the reputation of the paradise back garden produced by the island, but also the weakness of the Canadian dollar.

The weakness of the Canadian dollar means that the Canadian dollar is lowering its foreign exchange rate. Last summer, the Canadian dollar exchange rate was still above 90 cents, and fell to 85 cents in January, and then fell all the way, and in June it was around 80 cents, and now it has fallen to 76 cents.

In the past two years, Canada's economic situation has become increasingly bad, which is directly related to the weakness of the Canadian dollar. Many industries, especially manufacturing, have suffered a lot of losses.

But some industries are different, just like the hottest with the weakness of the Canadian dollar, such as the export industry and the tourism industry.

This is easy to understand. A dollar could be exchanged for about 1.2 Canadian dollars, and two Canadian lollipops can be purchased. Now it can be exchanged for 1.4 Canadian dollars. In addition to buying two lollipops, you can also add a piece of chewing gum, so the export industry has become prosperous.

Like the tourism industry, American tourists used to exchange 10,000 US dollars for 12,000 Canadian dollars. Now it is 14,000 Canadian dollars, and the same 10,000 US dollars can enjoy an extra 2,000 Canadian dollars.

As for inflation? They don't consider this. Because most of them have never been to Canada before and don't know how much the price changes. They know that they can get more Canadian dollars.

The "cheap" Canadian dollars are very attractive to tourists, and tourists think that vacation spending in Canada has become cheaper. Naturally, they will come uninvited.

Qin Shiou looked at the information released by the Canadian Bureau of Statistics. In October, the number of American tourists coming to Canada reached 1.9 million, the highest "monthly visits" in seven years, an increase of 3.3% from September.

Farewell Island took the opportunity to attract some tourists. After Winnie took the stage, the town developed retro carriage sightseeing, whale watching and dolphin watching, which was also attractive to American tourists.

For these tourists, the favorite thing they say goodbye to the town is Chinese tourists. The advantage of American tourists is to be generous. The tips they give are relatively high, often up to 20%.

In contrast, many tourists from China and other places in Asia do not have this habit, and even if they give tips, they will leave a few dollars a symbol. However, Chinese tourists are rich and are willing to spend money, buy souvenirs, and enjoy a big meal after they come. This is something that tourists from the United States and other places cannot compare with.

Qin Shiou habitually went to the Hughes convenience store for a cup of coffee, but there was no seat inside. Hughes saw him and called him into the cashier and grind him a cup of coffee.

"The business is very prosperous, huh?" Qin Shiou asked with a smile when he took the coffee.

Hughes nodded with satisfaction and said, "The tourism market this year is really great, and it will definitely be better next year, and it will definitely be better than the previous year and last year."

Tourism is one of the most sensitive industries to exchange rates. This year, due to the sluggish Canadian dollar exchange rate, it has felt that it will become a tourist hotspot for tourists from all over the world. Saying goodbye to a small place in the island is particularly clear, and you can feel it by selling a few more donuts the next day than the first day.

"Is there any policy that the town wants to introduce to stimulate the tourism industry?" Qin Shiou chatted casually while drinking coffee.

Hughes lay in front of him and said, "Don't tease me, man, you are the mayor's gentleman. Don't you know better than us?"

Qin Shiou shook his head and said, "You have to believe in the mayor's ethics. She never talks about business with me after she returns home. Of course, if I need my help, it is another matter. She will definitely be the first to raise it."

Hughes laughed and explained that the town is indeed going to change a little. First, the town will change its ferry after the spring next year: "Switch to a better boat, such as a yacht."

In addition, the town will develop several whale watching holy sites. "I heard that the town plans to install whale watching cameras in the sea, which are floating cameras with solar charging panels. At that time, install a large screen on the street and you can see the scenes in the sea."

Qin Shiou said: "That must be beautiful, right?"

Hughes smiled and said, "Of course, I can't wait to see what happened at that time, oh, I plan to expand the convenience store a little bit, I have acquired the shop next door and am ready to open it. What do you think?"

Qin Shiou looked at the crowded shelves and said, "It's a good idea now, but be careful that you're taking too much steps and getting rid of the bad. But then again, this is an opportunity for development. If you don't catch it, then I bet you will be so frustrated that you won't even feel like masturbating in the future."

After hearing this, Hughes laughed. He winked at Qin Shiou and said, "How about it, have you ever been on a plane after marriage?"

Qin Shiou quickly drank the last sip of coffee from the cup, threw away the paper cup and said with a smile: "Goodbye, man, I have to go buy things, there is still a lot of work when I go back." (To be continued...)
