Some of you might remember that I have been visiting Cambridge Bay for the last couple of years. I am working on an independent research project, for my PhD in Geography at the University of Calgary, looking at resident attitudes to tourism here, as well as Churchill and Pond Inlet.The reason for setting up this weblog is to give as many people as possible a chance to comment on my findings.I'll be in town from the 17th – 23rd May 2007, so I hope to talk to as many people as possible, but obviously I cannot speak to everyone, so this is your chance...

So, on the negetive side, of the 70 residents I spoke to, 90 per cent of them didn't think there were any bad things about tourism in Cambridge Bay. Of the remaining people, their comments were:* Tourism income might contribute to alcohol addiction problems (2 people said that).* Cruise visitors don’t necessarily spend a lot of money (1 person said that).* Other concerns included: “tourists want to see how it was, rather than how it is, but nothing stays the same” and “I don’t support hunting for trophies”.HAVE YOUR SAY......!

The one respondent said she had no opinion about tourism in this community because she was a newcomer. Are you surprised by these results?

Click on the map to enlargeWhen I interviewed residents of Cambridge Bay I asked them to look at this satellite image of the area, and to tell me places where current tourism activities are appropriate and places where tourism activities aren't appropriate. I then asked them to repeat this exercise for future tourism activities. Here's the same satellite image with comments and annotations (to make the image larger simply click on the satellite image). The majority of residents (38 of them) indicated that anywhere was acceptable for current tourism...

The final set of questions in the interview asked residents to speculate about the future of tourism in Cambridge Bay. Forty per cent of respondents recognized that tourism will “take on its own momentum” and “will be important to Cambridge Bay” in the future because “we are getting known, especially for good fishing”. An additional 8 people projected that the community will likely host more cruise ships in the future given “the way the ice is”. Modest increases in Northwest Passage bound yachts wintering over in the community were predicted by...

Btw that small car is not mine. No way I can do 1 hour with that car. 2nd picture is taken during sunset of a landmark in Kota Kinabalu. Its a big sword fish or I think it is in a middle of a roundabout. Its located near Hyatt Hot...
