FOR SALETraveller’s Inn City CenterVictoriaVictoria is located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, on British Columbia’s West Coast. It is the vacationcapital of Canada and renowned internationally as a premier tourist destination, contributing approximately onebillion dollars in annual tourism revenue to the local economy. The Greater Victoria area is made up of 13municipalities and is home to more than 350,000 residents. For people of all ages, it is a community of choicefor its temperate climate, natural beauty, enviable lifestyle, superior urban amenities and abundant economicopportunities, making it an exceptionally attractive place in which to live, work and invest. Excellent air andferry transportation links provide an easy commute to or from the densely populated Greater Vancouver andSeattle/Tacoma regions. From a real estate perspective, the global economic downturn impacted the localinvestment market, but fortunately it was to a lesser extent than many of the larger urban centres acrossCanada and the United States. The local economy has been relatively insulated from the broader recession,due in part to Victoria’s large public service employment base and diverse economic drivers.Tourism MarketVictoria is a major tourism destination seeing more than 3.65 million visitors a year who inject more than onebillion dollars into the local economy. Tourism in the Capital Region hit a record high in 2007 generating $1.23billion, but in 2008 it began to experience the affects of the economic downturn with the City’s tourism revenuedeclining to $1.1 billion. Until that time, the local tourism market remained resilient with overseas and interprovincialtraveling largely offsetting any decline in American tourists.In the first half of 2009, tourism suffered further as the fallout from the global economic downturn rippledthrough the industry. Despite the busiest year ever in the cruise ship sector with 215 ships making stops inVictoria, this year the City has seen a decline in the US, overseas and domestic markets. Nonetheless, earlyreports suggest that it has been a year of unpredictable results for the City’s tourism industry with a number ofoperators sales down, but many others have managed to stay on par with last year through aggressive pricingand packaging.Looking ahead, Greater Victoria’s tourism industry is expected to remain stable for the remainder of 2009(generating just under $1 billion by year end), with performance levels improving in the latter part of 2010.Tel. 250 382 3400 www.dtzbarnicke.com
