It projects visitors rising 10 percent annually to 7.5 million by 1980 and revenue reaching $500 million with a five fold increase in per capita spending. Plans include Duck Mountain Resort, more hotel rooms, 8 000 to 10 000 camp sites, 3 000 cabins, new convention facilities in Winnipeg and Brandon, plus improved roads and regional development to attract American visitors and boost shopping and attractions.
