Not really. One person can go to a mall 30 times a year. One person typically does not visit a park like Disneyland more than once a year, at most.
I like the convienent use of Edmonton city population vs Edmonton Metro too. Usually when it comes to Calgary vs Edmonton population, Edmontonians despise city proper counts.
Also, as has been mentined ad nauseum over time, someone from Camrose or Westlock who goes into the big city is not a tourist. Frankly, those "tourist" numbers are a complete fraud.
