V Tourist sees Big Possibilities At Rocky Point '

- (By Doris Maura)

On Saturday I went. over to Rocky Point where 1 diloovered one of the finest inland salt water bathing. beaches in North Am. erlca. '

Instead of a full-scale summer resort I found nothing. To pass the time I took pictures of the following:

A farmer driving a flock of geese.

A murky river with three ducks on it.

Two people going up a with a horse and buggy.

I returned to the area of the beautiful beach. Quickly I visual. ized the Possibilities of Rocky point.

A continental deluxe summer re- sort attracting tourists from all parts of Nor.th.An:erica,

road

This would comprise a sp:'aw. ling summer hotel, ultramodern in iicsigii with from twenty to thirty good-sized cottages. Back from this a golf course would extend, There would be four sets of ten- iiis courts each with four courts.

A spacious boat house with plenty of boats for rent would be a requisite.

The hotel would be equipped with a main dining room and with a .'-trill room. the latter where tiining and dancing would be t-ombined. These two rooms would face the harbour and bay and would be completely glassed in on those sides.

it is to be remembered that tourists nowadays demand the iiiira in food. If there is comfort along with it they'll remain a while; if there is scenery tn as. light the eye along with if. they'll remain longer: if there is dan- ringz while they dine. they'll stay forever.

Now. these are all interests which will attract the tourist. as well as give recreation and enter-

tainment to the Island people themselves. -

Rocky Point could be utilized also its a winter resort. Skating

and skiing would predominate of the outside amusements. Tourists often have no other holiday in the whole year excepting those three to four weeks of the sum- mer. Some take their holidays in winter. Many tourists who come to Canada and who do not know the extent of their bank account would spend lavishly at. a resort such as this. Many people are spending in one place their en- tire vacatlon money. excepting travelling expenses. and would. therefore, spend f:eely., 0 O 0

If Charlottetown wishes to catch some of the millions that are being distributed around North America in the tourist trade she will need more than a Charlotte- town Hotel where visitors stay on the average two nights because there is nothing to do around the piace. I overheard one guest say: "Oh. if the hotel would only have s concert for us."

This development would cost ap- proximately four millions. In twenty years it would have paid for itself.

Yes. Charlottetown owns a D0- tential gold mine in Rocky Point and is doing nothing to exploit it.
