Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1527881, member: 27"] They get a sizable percentage of their business from visiting Canadians. As the mall gets bigger and better, it becomes a destination more than just a shopping mall. People come from all around, not just Canada, to visit it and spend time. For many, a day is not/will not be sufficient. This is what DestinyUSA management has been driving for from day one. There is, IMHO, money to be made building a big hotel, preferably directly attached to the mall. IMHO, it is going to be built. Congel is just waiting for a handout to help him build it, confident our politicians will eventually kowtow and give it to him. No one was going to give him anything for a hotel until the much desired anchor hotel for the downtown convention center was landed (which recently happened). But the important thing is, there is money to be made. That means a hotel will come, at some point. [/QUOTE]
