Things are looking up for Calgary’s tourism industry this summer.
Tourism Calgary CEO Randy Williams tells The Calgary Herald with the 100th anniversary of the Stampede, it’s possible to see a four to six per cent increase in tourism.
An official with the Calgary Hotel Association says there are still a good number of hotel rooms available for Stampede week, but operators have noticed an increase in people booking early.
Other attractions, such as the Calgary Zoo’s Penguin Plunge and the Telus Spark Science Centre, are expected to draw more tourists as well.
