I just know that our industry is really time-sensitive, because we only have six months of the year to make it. We go out to Vancouver next month and we'll plan next year with 15, 20, or 30 different companies to bring people to P.E.I.
When we're doing that, we're just naturally assuming that we're going to have the guides to fill the positions for all the people who are coming. We plan as though we're going to have them. However, when they get here, we find out that our application, which has been put in for a month, was left on somebody's desk and hasn't even been looked at yet; or they've actually changed the application in the past. From the time we put it in until it got read, the application had been changed, and then we had to pay another $1,000 to put in the new application because what we put in the first one wasn't right for the second one.
That sounds crazy, but the urgency is that we have time-sensitive businesses here that can only run for six months. I don't get these tours in December or January.
The level of guiding has to be up to snuff for the Japanese people or they will find another destination to go to.
