Banff National Park will always be a place to visit, to experience, and to learn. In order to enhance and protect the visitor experience, I am confirming today that Parks Canada intends to implement quotas and reservation systems on certain trails. What's more, we will adopt the framework recommended by the Task Force for determining appropriate use of the park. Also, to ensure the accessibility of the park to visitors, I am authorizing that a feasibility study on public transportation, as recommended by the Task Force, be conducted very soon. The Banff Bow Valley is also a place for heritage tourism .
Tourism is an intrinsic part of the park.
The simple fact of the matter is, tourism gave birth to this park. And the park will always be a place where nature is an integral part of everyone's visit. Indeed, there need to be more and better opportunities for visitors to experience the natural splendour of the park. Today, I call upon the tourism industry to develop a heritage tourism strategy, that builds on the ideas of the Task Force. And I urge you to develop and adopt the World Tourism Organization's Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Sustainable Tourism.
