v2 Chapter 1420: .Prosperous Tourism (5/5)
Qin Shiou sat with Wei Ni in the front of the car and asked, "Is it pretty?"
Vini smiled sweetly and said: "At least it's interesting, much more interesting than on Christmas Eve in Winnipeg."
The smoke gun gave the two conch boat lights. Qin Shiou saw the words on it and shining it with the headlights. The smooth and polished sides of the conch were written with a line of words: May the world be gentle with us, and may God be with us forever Coexistence.
This kind of lamp has a meaning similar to a blessing lamp. People come to release it on Christmas Eve, initially for prayer.
The crew led by Cameron filmed in another direction. There were multiple scenes by the lake and a small temporary track was paved. There were cameras constantly moving on it like a train.
On the pier of Lake Shenbao, Leonardo was talking to the heroine, you and me. Watching the two put the boat lights together, Qin Shiou scratched his arm and muttered: "Xuete, this movie must hit the street! Disaster films are not literary and artistic films, so why do you make such a virtue?"
Vini said: "You are so stupid, do you think that everything they shoot will be released? Of course not! There are still editing in the later stage, and many unsuitable shots will be cut."
Qin Shiou recognizes this. This is common sense in movies, but he doesn't want to discuss this.
Hugging his wife and daughter, Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone and recorded the night with crazy selfies.
The next day is Christmas Eve, the town is shrouded in the atmosphere of Christmas, and the shops on both sides of the street play songs such as Christmas carols regardless of day and night.
The shops in the small town carried out a low-price sale, stocked up for a month, and only sold out in these two days. When Qin Shiou drove to the town to buy bells, he heard loudspeakers at the entrances of several shops shouting in Chinese, "Jumping off the building, there are invoices."
Relying on the tourism industry, the development of the town is thriving. Qin Shiou remembered that he had read a copy of Winnie. It is said that Farewell Town’s GDP per capita in the three quarters of this year has entered the top three of all towns in Newfoundland!
Now not only Chinese tourists come to Farewell Town, but also many American tourists and tourists from other parts of Asia.
The reason for this situation is not only the reputation of Farewell Island’s paradise back garden, but also the weak Canadian dollar.
The weak Canadian dollar means that the Canadian dollar’s foreign exchange rate has fallen. The Canadian dollar exchange rate was still above 90 cents last summer. It fell to 85 cents in January this year, and then fell all the way. It was around 80 cents in June and has now fallen to 76 cents.
In the past two years, Canada’s economic situation is getting worse and worse. This is directly related to the weakness of the Canadian dollar, in many industries, especially manufacturing. Followed a great loss.
However, some industries are different. They happen to be hot with the weakening of the Canadian dollar, such as the export industry and the tourism industry.
This is easy to understand. One U.S. dollar could be exchanged for about 1.2 Canadian dollars before, and two lollipops can be bought in Canada, but now they 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 U.S. dollars for 12,000 Canadian dollars, but now it’s 14,000 Canadian dollars. For the same ten thousand dollars, they can enjoy an extra 2,000 Canadian dollars.
As for inflation? They don't think about this, because most of them have never been to Canada before and don't know how big the price changes are, they know they can get more Canadian dollars.
The “cheap” Canadian dollar is full of appeal to tourists, who think that spending on vacation in Canada has become cheaper. Naturally, they will come uninvited.
Qin Shiou looks at the data released by Statistics Canada. The number of American tourists who came to Canada in October reached 1.9 million, the highest "monthly visits" in seven years, an increase of 3.3% over September.
Farewell Island took the opportunity to absorb some tourists, after Winnie took the stage. The town has developed horse-drawn carriage retro sightseeing, whale watching and dolphin watching activities, which are also attractive to American tourists.
For these tourists. The favorite of farewell town is the Chinese tourists. The advantage of American tourists is that they are generous, and their tips are relatively high, often as high as 20%.
In contrast, many tourists from China and other places in Asia don’t have this habit. Even if they give a tip, they leave a few dollars symbolically. However, Chinese tourists have money and are willing to spend money after they come. Meals, this is unmatched by tourists from the United States and other places.
Qin Shiou habitually went to the Hughes convenience store for a cup of coffee, but there were no more seats in it. Hughes saw him and called him into the cash register and gave him a cup of coffee.
"Business is booming, huh?" Qin Shiou asked with a smile when he took the coffee.
Hughes nodded with satisfaction, and said, “This year’s tourism market is really great. Next year will definitely be better. It must be better than the year before and last year.”
Tourism is one of the industries most sensitive to exchange rates. This year, due to the low exchange rate of the Canadian dollar, I have felt that it will become a tourist hotspot for tourists from all over the world. Say goodbye to a small place on the island. The feeling is especially clear. The next day will sell a few more than the first day. You can feel every donut.
"Is there any policy to stimulate tourism in the town?" Qin Shiou casually chatted over coffee.
Hughes lay in front of him and said: "Don't tease me, man, you are the mayor’s husband, don’t you know better than us?"
Qin Shiou shook his head and said, “You have to believe in the mayor’s integrity. She never talks to me about official affairs after returning home. Of course, if I need my help, that’s another matter. She must be the first to ask.”
Hughes laughed. He explained that the town does have to change a bit. First of all, the town will change the ferry after the beginning of spring next year: "Change to a better boat, such as a yacht."
In addition, the town will also develop several holy places for whale watching. “I heard that the town plans to install underwater whale watching cameras, which are floating cameras with solar charging panels. Then a large screen will be installed on the street. I can see the scene in the sea."
Qin Shiou said, "That must be beautiful, right?"
Hughes smiled and said, "Of course, I can’t wait to see what it was like at that time. Oh, I plan to expand the convenience store a bit. I bought the store next door and I am going to open it up. What do you think?"
Qin Shiou looked at the crowded shelves, and said, "I think it’s a good idea now, but it’s too much to be careful, but then again, this is an opportunity for development. If you don’t seize it, then I bet you From now on, it will be so painful that I won’t even be in the mood to fly."
Hearing this, Hughes laughed. He winked at Qin Shiou and said, "How is it? Have you ever taken a plane after marriage?"
Qin Shiou quickly drank the last sip of coffee in the cup, threw away the paper cup and smiled: "Goodbye, man, I have to go shopping, there is still a lot of work to go back." (to be continued~^~)
