Churchill is on the shoreline of the west coast of Canada. Over the past few years this has become one of the most sought over environmental holidays. What would happen to the tourist industry if the climate changed?
Churchill has become extremely popular and famous around the world, mainly because of the polar bears that travel inland during autumn. These polar bears head inland and invade local towns and villages such as Churchill to find refuge. Because of this Churchill has been named the Polar Bear capital of the world. This has helped boost the tourist industry around the area, and now tour operators offer Canada tours dedicated to this area, to show people the stunning environment.
Not only is Churchill rare, there is also another rare occurance, it is an Ecotone. When two or more very different environments are in close proximity, this is known as an Ecotone. Churchill is on the border of three of these extremely different climates. To the southern region is the Boreal Forest, towards the north west you will find the Tundra like conditions, and directly to the north is the Hudson Bay area. If you have never seen the Aurora Borealis then this one of the best places on the planet. Not only does this area have all these attributes, it is also home to the Beluga whales in summer, over 57,000 of them, and has a very extensive amunt of bird fauna that cover the whole area.
Because of all the surrounding species and the Polar bears, Churchill needs to rely on the tourist industry heavily. This means that is is in between three different environments and climates. The tourism industry will fail. Canada holidays benefit greatly from this environmental phenomenon, but how much longer will it last. Alaska Cruises also circle round to this area, so maybe that holiday is better sooner rather than later.
