Hobby plans changing with lowering exchange rate

[breadman]

I've been watching the canadian exchange rate plumit the last few month's. Its dropped from its average of 1.42 down to its current rate of 1.19. This post isnt asking 'why'....that's a whole different issue. I'd like to address the tourist loss's. Also, while the exchange rate for canada has dropped, the exchange rate for mexico has risen considerably.

What im asking is this: Are hobby plans for those outside of Canada being altered with this lower exchange rate?

So will tourism to city's in Canada drop with the exhange rate? Montreal has a slight edge with their lower hobby costs with the low end agency's. The high end agency's might suffer considerably. Toronto is basically a high middle to a high end base.....with no lower agency's worth mentioning. Lower being 160 or under.

Mexico on the other hand....their exchange rate is rising. Over 11 peso's to the dollar, up from 9 a year ago. Prague/Budapest is still very reasonable although their rates have risen lately.

Myself, id still consider trips to Montreal but just for the low end talent. Toronto is iffy but is still a great city to visit. But im looking at trying trips to florida, mexico and europe now that the canadian exchange rate has dropped

copy, paste, done... phewwww. Do I have to do this everytime? LOL

Not sure about Montreal, but from what I see in Toronto things in this business are as bad as they get. This time of the year things slow down and pick up again around the holidays. Then they die again and pick up again during the springtime. I was talking to an eastern European HDH call girl the other day and she was telling me that they don't get too many calls from hotels as they use to this time of the year... so either not too much business traveling going on (i.e. conventions) or the visitors just don't call as much anymore. Not sure if it is the US vs CND currency but perhaps the demographics of the traveling hobbyists, occasional or regular, have changed too.
