Author Description

Excerpt from Travel USA, Vol. 1: July 1949 Today the tourist industry provides more American dollars to the Canadian people than any other, with the sole exception of our export of newsprint. It is there fore no mean industry, and its future is a matter of con cern for every citizen of the Dominion, not only those en gaged in providing the primary services to travelers. There are now more than 13 million Canadians, and it seems to me they are amazingly reticent about the fundamental facts of Canadian life. Those of us who have had the job of telling the Canadian story abroad have found no lack of listeners, and no scarcity of material to work with. But we have encountered surprisingly little competition within our own borders. Canadians seem happy to leave the job of selling the Dominion to those whose official responsibility it is.
