R. AYRES Editor President G. P, WOODSIDE \ General Manager Authorized as second class mall by the Post Office Department; Ottawa TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1958 alr "HERE'S swift, routine answer to ‘complaints about the deplorable _ epnditions encountered by air travel- JetS-at Canada’s major port of air en- try: Dorval. 4 ' “Wait until we get the new build- ing. Then everything will be all right.” . This is convincing—except to the t fo toy . : traveller who comes. through Dorval after experiences elsewhere. Then it becomes obvious that what is needed is nbt just a new building, but a new atti- tide...Unless the basic. approach to the _ traveller changes, the new building new-rising on Dorval’s grounds will be just a larger area in which to irritate visiting tourists and departing or re- turning Canadians. — . | | ‘It’s true, that in the present quar- ters there’s no possibility of providing » comfortable lounges and other space- consuming services. Complaints’ on this score can properly be answered by pointing to the new building. - But there are changes that could be |. yhade,.right now, to improve the tra- st impression of Canada, aking much: space or incur- xpense. —_ id. in ‘making these changes raises the Horrid suspicion that conditions in the. new building will not alter in respect tb thésmall matters that can make or break’ the day for a traveller. ~ “TF6r example: there’s the matter of _ currency change. The first thing a traveller needs on arrival at a foreign airport is some currency of the coun- try in which he is now travelling. .At any European airport he can get it, in exchange for his travellers’ checks, at cash offices open 24 hours a day. At Dorval, he can’t. Co If he has not been prudent enough to supply himself with Canadian (or he fact that no one seems interest- ' | ~ Black eye for Canada perhaps American) dollars before ‘Jeaving home, he can’t buy a cup of cof- fee, make a phone-call, or pick .up a newspaper. Even if he has bought Canadian currency before leaving - home, he is likely to have. ten-dollar, twenty-dollar, or even fifty-dollar bills —certainly not silver, in which few * foreign exchange markets are prepar- ed to deal. | . If complete banking services on a 94-hour basis can’t be arranged, why | not see that one of the concessionaires is reasonably prepared to deal with simple exchange problems? | : Another point is language. Signs’ and announcements at Dorval are pro- vided in Canada’s two languages, ; which probably meet the needs of most travellers. But it would require very little extra effort to provide signs, at least, in half.a dozen other languages, thus giving the traveller whose Eng- , | lish and French are shaky a sporting chance to find his own way in, a wildering new environment. In the days when most air-line pas- sengers were well-heeled experienced travellers prefectly capable of spitting in the eye of a snarling waitress or ex- pressing themselves in several lan- _ guages, all these small points were of | But now, with heavy — immigration, and. tourist-class air” little concern. travel more common, the passenger coming to Dorval is not so apt tobe the © _type who can rise above irriations and win his battlers. As matters stand now, the psycho- logical effect: of entry through Dorval is depressing and discouraging. - Certainly, among all. major ‘air- ports in the western world, Dorval has an exceptionally good claim to the title “most unpleasant.” _ —Financial Post. Tourist convenience THERE isagreat deal of common sense in the suggestion that money exchange booths be set up at Canada Customs posts along the U.S. border. The idea as raised in Commons by J. Chester MacRae, a New Brunswick MP. Probably it is not a job for the Customs service, but the Canadian Tourist Association ought to consider it seriously. | The sight of American tourists angrily objecting to taking a discount on their dollars is far too common, And the amount of the discount is li- able ‘to variations from one store to another, from a hotel to a bank. All these disputes could be.ended if the incoming tourists were to ex- change their U.S. funds for Canadian money right at the border, at a uni- form exchange rate right across the country. Certainly they can buy their Canadian funds at many U.S, banks but they often don’t think of it before leaving home. The border-crossing exchange bureau would bea most con- venient service, | Such money exchange bureaus would fit in well with the tourist busi- nese’s constant efforts to make Canada different from the United States.
