TRANSPORTATION: New bus service connects Edmonton and Jasper
        (AlbertaIndex, November 26, Monday) --- Sundog Tour Company has launched a new bus service to connect Edmonton and Jasper, providing easy access to the two cities for skiers, tourists and business people.

The new daily door-to-door service between Edmonton International Airport, West Edmonton Mall and Jasper stems from the work of the newly formed Edmonton-Jasper Access Group (EJAG).

The group was established to promote the convenience of new ground transportation services such as the Edmonton-Jasper Connector and the VIA Rail Express Snow Train that connect Edmonton and Jasper to the international marketplace, specifically the UK.

Air Canada’s daily Edmonton-London air service is an important component of EJAG’s marketing strategy, linking Edmonton and Jasper with international visitors.

“Edmonton is the closest urban centre to Jasper residents and visitors where they can experience the amenities of an urban centre, including Edmonton’s vibrant arts and culture scene, festivals, attractions, shopping and professional sporting events,” said Ken Fiske, Vice-President, Tourism, Events and Motion Pictures, Edmonton Economic Development Corp.

Over 730,000 annual visitor nights in Edmonton are directly attributed to Jasper and the other mountain parks, generating over $20 million in spending in the Edmonton region.

EJAG is a partnership between Jasper Tourism & Commerce, Ski Jasper, Marmot Basin, Decore Hotels, The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Mountain Park Lodges, SunDog Tours, Jasper Inn/Maligne Lake, Sawridge Inn, Athabasca Hotel, Mt. Robson Inn, Jasper Tramway, Whistler’s Inn, Astoria Hotel, Edmonton Tourism, Edmonton Airports and West Edmonton Mall.
