Travel Alberta, which works to promote tourism to the province, said it is hearing about cancellations from tour operators and hotels. “We’ve had some cancellations — although I don’t have a qualified number.”The cancellations include group tours to Jasper and Banff in the Rocky Mountains, he said. Banff Lake Louise Tourism said in a statement that it has seen a minimal impact so far, but noted that staff are monitoring the situation. He said Travel Alberta follows the lead of Destination Canada, a federal government corporation that markets the country to international tourists.
