The main reason is probably that Edmonton is really the only destination for all of Northern Alberta. People from Peace River/High Level/ Grande Prairie/Fort McMurray even Fort St. John and Dawson Creek all plan their twice annual weekend in Edmonton. It's the only major city close enough to visit without flying and it gets the job done....it's also the easiest palce to visit from Saskatoon.
When it comes to foreign tourists I can't see Edmonton out ranking Calgary.
