Has Tourism Failed ?

   I wanted to start a new thread as the last one has wandered. In former times , housing was an issue here in Tofino . People working in the herring plant would camp along Sharp Road by the Dolphin Motel. Sin City was built as a response to this and other housing issues.  

  McMillan Bloedel built ten or twenty houses as well as a trailer park to support its logging operations in the area. 

  Logging and fishing are gone and tourism was seen as the way forward. Now tourism is seen as being largely responsible for the housing shortage . Is tourism the problem or has it just been grossly mismanaged in Tofino ?? 

   Comments are open.
