This should come as no surprise given how expensive touristing has become with the recent inflation. In particular, restaurants. Considering most tourists end up in restaurants for two or three meals a day, that can add up over a week. (Hence the appeal of Airbnb, before people got all stupid and ruined it). We had out of town friends here a couple of months ago; two parents and two teenagers. After four days in Quebec City and three more in Montreal they practically had to take out another mortgage to pay for it all. (We had them over to chez nous for some home cooking to give them a break.)
