The tourism package if the train and trail, and more hotels in Banff are finished is pretty compelling. Add in the convention centre, could evolve into one of the premier sites worldwide.
Yeah, it really could make a big difference. Between the new arena and the BMO expansion, the potential conference sizes keep growing too.
This is where the grand central location delivers a huge win vs more central DT, having the simplified logistics of direct airport terminal to conference site connectivity, along with the Banff connection is huge. Time to start planning a BC place sized stadium on the bus barns site to really level it up?
Having the bike trail as a local experience will definitely pull some extended bookings from attendees. Really excited to try it out myself someday!
Hopefully this lights a spark with other regions in the province too, maybe look at formalizing a bike trail along hwy 2A between the cities? Could also be a good add-on to the province's rail plan for Jasper.
