Hi Wilko
Hmmmm – two quite different replies you’ve had. Jeff P-yo seems to say throw caution to the wind and go for it while Alba seems informed, in the market already and cautious. While Alba may not relish the prospect of more competition, they sound like they are having a challenge making a go of it – I’m not surprised.
I am a recreational home owner in Fernie, and have often considered developing a portion of my property to target foreign vistors. While you are considering somthing much more involved, I haven’t done even a simpler version as I’ve always had trouble “making the numbers work”. You will get ski season visitors for the mid DEC-APR timeframe. Then from a recreational visitor perpective you can pretty much forget it. In the off ski season the vacancy rate for most every type of accomodation soars. Do your homework, be prepared to float this venture for a while be fore you break even and Good luck whatever you choose.
