Certainly not big enough for a tourist centre.

No disrespect, but how big do you think Banff is? Same scale on google maps shows that from the quarry to the lake, to the Legion in Exshaw is about the same distance as from the Bow river bridge, to just past the Inns of Banff in the Banff townsite. Yes, this doesn't include the Cave and Basin, or the Banff upper hot springs, but it also doesn't include the Lac Des Arc campground.

The Exshaw quarry and townsite is certainly bigger than Lake Louise.

Besides, how big does a town need to be? All the people working there can commute in on the fancy new train they are building!!
