Alberta didn’t consider impact of mountain coal mining on tourism industry, official says

An Alberta government official says the impact of coal mining in the Rocky Mountains on the province’s tourism industry wasn’t considered before a policy protecting those summits and foothills was revoked.

The United Conservative government has set a goal of doubling the province’s tourism revenue by 2030.But Kate White told the committee no analysis was done about how open-pit coal mines might affect visitation in the province’s most popular tourism areas. At least six companies have exploration leases on tens of thousands of hectares up and down Alberta’s Rocky Mountains.

Say what it is: it's not Alberta. It's not Albertans. It's the UCP. It’s Kenney.

because all tourism industries should emulate the G&M neighborhood

I think going forward the single biggest impact on tourism will be geographic/demographic uptake of Covid-19 vaccines & the realization by the tourism industry that they will have to insist on their employees, partners & customers being fully vaccinated or accept risk of closure

But they are now. HappyEarthDay
