Despite the soggy weather so far this summer -- provincial tourism numbers are holding their own according to Tourism Minister Stuart Jamieson. He tells Tide News the tighter security rules at the border have produced a twist. He says numbers are up by 45-percent over last year in Campbellton thanks in large part to the Acadien Congress -- but -- he says the passport requirements at the U-S border have kept a lot of American visitors away.
Jamieson says numbers are down at some of the outdoor attractions but up in other areas like historic sites.
