Tourism season more than holding its own in Terrace and area, says local manager By Jackie Lieuwen
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - Tourism in the area is down from last year but has increased when compared to the years prior to 2014, says Kermodei Terrace manager Tyler Clarke. “Numbers this year are down a bit from 2014, but that’s not to say tourism as a whole is down... Overall numbers are on a climb,” he said. In conversations with restaurants, hotels and motels, Clarke says they report numbers are healthy. Clarke did note that many tourists come through the region

in recreational vehicles and other wheeled accommodation, often on a circle tour. “Terrace is situated at the influx of two different circle tours. [There are] people coming up doing the Great Alaskan Circle Tour and others who are getting their RV in Vancouver, coming up through northern B.C. and taking BC Ferries back down south,” Clarke said. He says many of those tourists stay in Terrace because it is a convenient stop and only an hour and a half from ferry terminals at Prince Rupert. In terms of who is coming through, Clarke says it is mostly people from B.C. and Alberta and
the western American states of Alaska, Washington, California, and Oregon. There are also quite a few Europeans. “A lot of the Europeans are coming here for the fishing and the outdoors,” said Clarke. “The cultural and historical aspects are more of a secondary product for them.” Among the tourists stopping at the Kermodei Tourism infocentre last week were Tony and Margaret Powsey, a retired couple from Vancouver Island who came to Canada from England in 1969. They took the ferry up from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert and picked up their motorhome, left
there by some friends who had previously taken the opposite route. The couple said they had wanted to visit Terrace while still in England decades ago, when they read a book about a Dutch couple who had settled here. “It was very interesting and we always had Terrace in the back of our minds,” said Margaret. The couple is travelling with their granddaughter Iyla. Margaret says this area is lush and green compared to their hometown of Cumberland, where rain has been scarce and water restrictions are in place. “It’s beautiful here,” she said.
