Marsha Wienert Total Quotations

Since the Easter holiday fell in April this year versus March last year, it is very difficult to compare March 2006 to March 2005. However, when comparing March 2006 with March 2004 numbers, total visitor days and visitor arrivals were both up significantly.

We are especially pleased with the increase in daily and total expenditures by our visitors. We are very optimistic that this trend will continue throughout the year.

We are encouraged that first-quarter arrivals set a new record for the domestic market and total visitor days exceeded all previous years. Furthermore, we are excited by the strong growth in visitor arrivals from Canada and by the continued increase in the level of overall expenditures.
