Things will be back to normal when you see the stats for 2006.

Weak argument, especially since those numbers are for 2004.
Don't we draw huge numbers from corporate people (not saying Edmonton doesn't have a corporate prescence, but that we have more). Should those business ''visits'' be counted as tourists?
Like I said, arguments both ways. No reason to downplay or come up with excuses.
