Tourism operators in Alberta are pushing for domestic tourism this summer as restrictions ease within the province. The CEO of Tourism Calgary says this summer is focused on pandemic recovery, but businesses only have three months to pull it off. "We're not making any assumptions of what the summer is going to look like. We're assuming there will be people taking staycations," said Dale Oviatt, the senior manager of communications for WinSport, a non-profit outdoor destination in Calgary, which features Canada Olympic Park.
