« on: January 01, 2015, 02:22:12 AM »
I am presently writing a short paper on the potential interest in local tourism organization to upgrade of the local bridge walkways. The Quebec bridge it self being of clear historic and touristic value.
I would like to put numbers on the eventual ship spotting activites. Here I believe in Quebec and Canada ship watching is still in its infancy when compared to EU .
Likely some of you can provide figures of ships pictures on the Web, Number of ship spotting users on the web. Number of travel for that purpose , number of tourists. there are a few similar bridges used for ship spotting. Likely the authorities have some ideas about the economic impact how ever limited. For example how many people do visit Rotterdam intending ship photography?
My idea is to compare our activity with the relative impact of bird watching and project interest growth of this hobby.
Anybody with ideas on this subject?
