International tourism in BC is up this year.
Numbers released by the province show nearly half-a-million more international visitors came to British Columbia in the first 9 months of this year, compared to last year.

She says for August and September, Air China had introduced three flights per week from China to Vancouver, which Bond says made a big difference in the number of visitors that came to BC.
Bond says they are hoping the tourism numbers stay strong as we head into ski season.
