The Vancouver International airport is in Richmond - it's won a bunch of awards. I'm wondering if that's how it made the list (e.g. stopovers). In terms of attractions: the night market, a bird sanctuary, Iona Beach, Finn Slough (one of the last tidal water communities in NA), the fishing village of Steveston, the Fraser River, a decent bike network, and some of the best dim sum outside China.
There are a ton of international students that go to university or college in London and actually a large population of foreigners in general (roughly 95,000 immigrants or 29% of total population). My best guess is arrivals and visits for international students and foreigners make up the majority of international hotel stays.
Drive through from the Midwestern US to Toronto. Same reason Windsor is on the list (although it's probably higher because of cross-border shopping and casinos). I grew up in Windsor, lots of Michigan/Ohio/Illinois plates around.
Richmond should definitely be removed. It's very confusing to consider a suburb of Vancouver (which is technically its own city) while not considering suburbs for any of the other cities. I'm from BC and was racking my brains over what the last city could be - it never occurred to me that Richmond would be counted separately.
Yup; same way that people are only going to Canmore to go to Banff, or Richmond to go to Vancouver. There are some very, very silly inclusions on this list, to be sure.
I think Canmore should definitely be included, since it is outside of Banff National Park and is also the gateway to Kananaskis Country. Having Lake Louise and Banff on here simultaneously is confusing, if we are talking about the actual townsites it makes more sense but it's more confusing because the quiz title says 'Places'. The data itself is based on people staying overnight in each city or town.
Especially in the summer during “Dildo Days”?
I drove through the heart of the city once.
