Posted: Jun. 14, 2023 6:21PMCancellation calls are flooding Tofino businesses, putting significant financial on the district’s economy.
Myles Beeby with Hotel Zed Tofino said this announcement has only increased the number of cancellations, going from 100 per cent occupancy for this upcoming weekend to only 10-12 per cent. She added that the lack of people coming to also means a lack of work for staff, causing several workers additional financial stress.
He said the province needs to clarify what it means by “recommended essential travel” so travellers know for sure if they can take the highway once the single lane opens up.
