The Canadian government and people spent millions on national parks each year on the upkeep of their national parks. Unfortunately, this past year alone they have lost about $30 million in national funding. However in 2015 spending was $3.3 billion total. Of that, 82% ($2.7 billion) was visitors spending alone. Furthermore, visitors spending accounts for 75% of the GDP impact, 76% of employment impacts and 62% of the tax impact. (Parks Canada, 2016). As these numbers show National Parks are a very large part of the Canadian Economy. With the budget cuts this means that parks will be open for shorter seasons and many staff members will lose their jobs. Many of those who have already received notice of leaving are scientists.

This is the only major disadvantage I can think of. This can start a potential war between the two companies if Aeryon were to get wind of what someone was doing. Canadians buy a large amount of American products, however not that much smaller company American tech, by this I mean they buy Apple products, but many not buy a 3D printer from a smaller start up here in America. Drone companies are usually small in origin, from startups to companies that can get as large as 300 employees. Very rarely do they transcend past their own national markets. This would be the next major road block. Convincing not only Canadians, but the Canadian government to buy an American made product from a smaller company at …show more content…
Many Canadians will not buy a product if they do not think that it will arrive in a timely manner. A good promotional message that would be more appealing to the Canadian consumer would be free shipping and a speedy delivery. In some parts of Canada like Quebec for instance it largely French populated so there is a need to be marketed to in French but also offer a translation. They like to be treated separately from the Canadian/English culture however not all of Canada speaks French (“Special Report: Marketing to,” 2008).
A product extension/communications adaptation would be ideal for the Canadian market. The communication methods needs to adapt to target the different areas and types of buyers. The Canadians and the government need to be targeted would be considered the 2 types of buyers. Canadians are obsessed with hockey, creating an advertisement and having a local or professional hockey player endorse the product would be very effective at targeting the Canadian consumer and appealing to large
A second option is to try out different formats and arenas to hold a Cirque Lite show in North American markets in order to appeal to a new audience that may not be willing to pay high ticket prices. But, this will dilute the brand and the associations already built in the loyal customers’ minds. A third option is to appeal is to a broader audience in all current markets using Cirque’s multimedia division to launch television specials that can serve as commercials for Cirque’s value proposition. The TV specials will allow broader audiences to see the value of the experience and will give Cirque employees a break from constant touring. However, Cirque cannot bring the brand to a broader audience without customer research into discount preferences and types of entertainment they seek out. So, Cirque will need to conduct research to help it understand how best structure its pricing and strengthen its value proposition to create meaningful experiences for audiences that set Cirque further apart from competitors and complementors. The TV special strategy will also serve well in the future when going to new markets to attract an audience. Therefore, Cirque should pursue this option to build its brand presence in current and new market and to attract a broader audience.
It is extremely fascinating that “general science and space (NASA) accounts for thirty-one billion dollars as opposed to national park service which only gets three billion dollars” (Document E). Thusly, funds from general science and space should be designated to national park service because national parks provide for the domestic tranquility with their relaxing and tranquil sites and serene environment. To continue, there are “fifty-eight national parks, 123 historic sites, and seventy-four national monuments” that have to be maintained and renovated so how can three million dollars be enough for all of these pieces and memorials of history (Document E)? General science and space would survive a cut in funds considering that America is no longer in the space race with Russia and it is not all that often that NASA sends new satellites into orbit or rovers to different planets. General science and space is not as useful as it used to be due to a growing number of private companies that are starting to take over the science and space industry. For these reasons, national park service needs to make up more than “just greater than .1 percent” of the budget (Document E). In conclusion, there are changes that need to be made to all three major clusters of the federal
All around the world we have National Parks that are protected areas by the government. John Muir was enraptured by it and Ansell Adame immortalized it, while Teddy Roosevelt created the National Park Service to protect these National Parks. These nationals parks are very important to keep for the environment, we all need to work together to keep these parks as nature as possible.
In 2016, the National Park Service (NPS) celebrated 100 years of preservation and conservation of our nation’s parks, monuments, and historical sites. Currently, the federal government has proposed significant proposed budget cuts to the National Park Service. If the government makes these cuts, then Americans could lose the national parks along with the beauty, culture, and history that comes with them. This would happen because the NPS would lose most of its funding that is needed in order to keep the national parks wellpreserved. Investing in the NPS should be a priority in our nation because it provides educational programs, unites all ages and races, and preserves and conserves the national parks.

the role the national park will play into the future to provide benefit and relevant services to Canadians and a commitment to work with communities, organizations and individuals for a sustainable future and to sustain or improve the ecological integrity of the park.
How do you think that Canada’s government should react towards climate change inside and outside of Canada’s national parks?
The park has been threatened by logging as well as non-native species. The NPS has gone to large lengths to keep this park protected, pushing for further legislation for protection to goto a federal authority. Making this a priority has had many payoffs and has been a big factor on the result that the park is in today. This park has suffered from budget cuts and actively tries to raise awareness and increase public interest. The NPS is partnering with other organizations to provide better service such as transit and educational opportunities to visitors. Making these promises has make their approval rating go up. The NPS also has one of the highest approval ratings of all government agencies.

As mentioned above we will have to incorporate Canadian traditional and comfort foods in to our menu. We will have to conduct market testing in order to determine which American comfort foods the new Canadian market will purchase and which should be eliminated from our Canadian menu. We are at an advantage already; it has been reported that 88 percent of Canadians have recently eaten seafood. Fish and seafood is also one of the largest food sectors that are exported by Canada. We will be able to use the abundance of that food to our financial advantage. We will be able to see slightly lower raw products cost, since seafood is known to fluctuate wildly throughout the year, as well as being reassured that Canadians will want to eat the food that we are selling in our restaurant. The fact that one of canada’s most valued exports includes: lobster, snow queen crab, farmed Atlantic salmon and shrimp, is a happy bonus to our bottom line. We should be able to buy directly from local fisheries. That will not only give us a more positive image with our new Canadian market, but we will be able to advertise that we use fresh locally sourced
American history had been born of discovery and industrialization, however early founders believed that certain spaces that garnered appreciation and interest were deemed worthy of government intervention and policy thus incorporating National Parks into American society. There were many people of utmost significance that contributed to the founding of national parks but the person with the most influence was John Muir. The work and ideas created by Muir and several other founders led to what we today consider to be the establishment of both recognized and sanctioned national parks. To completely understand how momentous the movement for the establishment of the National Parks was, one must recognize who participated in the achievement of these environments, how these parks are inaugurated, and the prominence they continue to hold today.
The staff members and scientists, however, are doing the best they can to make do with the research they have. Even with the budget in place there will be regular ecological monitoring where staff members will assess the park’s overall health. This is so if there is any negative changes or issues in the environment it can be treated before it’s too late.
Canada has many different natural resources. I have also become aware that us as Canadians have such poor management of these natural resources, despise their sensitive nature. Therefore, if we continue our poor, selfish acts, the Canadians in the future might not be able to get benefits from these
The Issue of National Park conservation has become a widely controversial issue today. With the National debt reaching 17 trillion dollars some politicians think it is alright to either sell off national park land to commercial foresters, miners, and even foreign nations or to just close some parks entirely to make up some of the national debt. They are completely unaware that the parks arent just a “pretty area of land for tourists”. Many cities depend on the parks for their well-being. A quote from a local newspaper in California supports this “National parks don’t boast concession stands or charge tax, but data indicates they bring in millions of dollars to local economies each year”(Tree). Supporters of cutting the parks include big CEO’s of major companies and some of them not even in this country.
Wonder, vastness, unsullied nature, and untouched beauty: all words that describe national parks across the planet. One such place, a series of islands about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, became officially recognized as an Ecuadorian National Park in 1959, and later a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979 (Galapagos Islands Geology & Volcanoes, n.d.). None other than the Galapagos Islands themselves, the park is perhaps one of, if not the most captivating National Parks on the globe. When one hears “Galapagos Islands,” the ecological diversity is often the first association brought to mind. While it holds true that the islands contain possibly one of the most diversified bionomics in the world, its geological history is just as
