This was an all time high for Canadian visitation to the State of Arizona. We believe there is a lot of room for growth in these numbers as airlines are adding 80 plus flights a week in 2010, specifically from Western Canada. If Eastern Canada becomes more engaged by adding more scheduled flights from Toronto, and starts a nonstop flight from Montréal (to offer a alternative to Florida) this would help. Also, if Canadian Charter Airlines like Sunwing and Transat add Phoenix to their charters, we believe over time it would not be hard to reach a million Canadians a year visiting Arizona during the next 5 years.
