Appears economic downturn extends to all of these provinces as it does Alaska.  Verified with numerous campgrounds, gas stations, grocery stores, etc.  This year was apparently worse than last which was very poor.  Saw many businesses failing or boarded up.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6466001639382223861/6541503366876861550/comments/default/5766491515272786038'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6466001639382223861/6541503366876861550/comments/default/5766491515272786038'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rvalaska.rvtravel.com/2009/11/alaska-tourism-numbers-down.html?showComment=1257702371134#c5766491515272786038' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://rvalaska.rvtravel.com/2009/11/alaska-tourism-numbers-down.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466001639382223861.post-6541503366876861550' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6466001639382223861/posts/default/6541503366876861550' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466001639382223861.post-3363115110913053804</id><published>2009-11-08T09:42:25.522-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-08T09:42:25.522-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Spent May to September this year in B.C., Yukon, N...</title><content type='html'>Spent May to September this year in B.C., Yukon, Northwest Territory, Alberta and Alaska.
