Tourism

Yarmouth used to be a booming tourist town, known as the Gateway to Nova Scotia, and the sidewalks would be packed all summer with tourists. My business has never relied much on tourist traffic though but we did get a fair number coming in the store, usually looking for directions to a good restaurant, hotel or Bed and Breakfast to stay in. During the last few years however, tourism here has been steadily declining. The loss of regular passenger flights into and out of the airport, coupled with the loss of most of our ferry crossings has left us with very little traffic compared to previous years.
