Canadian Casinos as Tourist Attractions: Chasing the Pot of Gold

G.J. Smith

T.D. Hinch

In this article, the commonly held belief that casinos automatically function as tourist attractions is questioned.

With the exception of the Windsor venue, Canadian casinos are not major tourist attractions.
