I also think that for those like me that is traveling a lot across Canada, in large cities, internet is the first place where you should take a look at, but we are internet user, I have been searching for SP on internet for the past 3 years, and I did find out about those board only few month ago, because a SP ask me if I was a poster, how many of your regular consumer have made the first contact via internet lady, I would imagine that only half come form it.
And for those who are into some agencies, how many of those lady have advance booking, no a lot, a could also imagine that into agencies last minute call is big part of the business, and those people where reading ads into newspaper.
In many smaller town, lady wont advertise them self on internet, Halifax and Quebec city for example, In Halifax only Sydney Banks as a web sites, in Quebec City 1 web sites, and I can tell you that you should not trust it. So where do we found valuable information into newspaper.
