1CRITIQUE AND ANALYSIS OF THE DESTINATION
Rocky Mountaineer provide unique train travelling services and it is unique since it renders
the passengers to enter into the hidden world that consists of unparalleled beauty as they can
enjoy travelling through rocky terrain inside Canadian Rockies. On having a journey to those
adventurous spots, one can enjoy magnificent beauty of nature and the journey is so
comfortable that one just have to take a relaxed seat inside the coaches, eat the stocked food
in the car pantries and when the train goes round one of those corners, the person may catch a
sight of beautiful, rare animals in the deep woods (Rocky Mountaineer, 2019). They provide
lots of opportunities towards enjoyment for passengers who get a chance of spend some time
in the lap of nature, have a fresh breathing of air as well as engage in conversation with other
people. Apart from Canadian Rockies, various rail routes are offered by this tourism and
travel Company in some of the fascinating sights of Western part of Canada. A person who
takes the booking from this Company, takes a ride towards having an adventure in the
seascapes of Alaska with soothing ocean breeze blowing over. However legendary travel
routes through spiral tunnels and passing by the site of Craigellachie are one of those historic
routes that would help to connect Eastern as well as Western parts of Canada, it is a 1-4 night
packages that would render opportunity to the passengers to visit the west side and 4-7 night
packages for those who want to visit western part. The costs of these packages usually range
from $2,199.00 CAD to $1,949.00 CAD whereas a 2 day railway travel into the Vancouver-
Lake Louise would amount to nearly $1,579.00 CAD that is more optimum than other
tourism companies in Canada like Great Canadian Trails that incurs a cost of nearly $ 4750
CAD for a mountaineering ride into Canadian Rockies of a height of 2500 metres (Rocky
Mountaineer, 2019).
Rocky Mountaineer also provide luxury hotels to their tourists, with beautiful, neat as well as
clean accommodations and it offers tremendous pleasure to people as they provide services at
high end level. They take a great deal of care towards its people and also take responsibility

of them if they undergo any form of injuries or problems without any form of signing
liabilities that if people undergo through any form of hazard during the journey they would
not be responsible for it, as such bonds often exist in many other tourism companies in
Canada and they get those liabilities signed by tourists before ensuring the journey. Some of
the best packages provided by them 2 consecutive day journey into Vancouver Kamloops and
a memorable visit to City of Jasper. Though the travelling cost is a bit high that is $4,449
CAD, yet this travel provide a wide expanse of view of mesmerising floating clouds and
natural landscapes of Amsterdam. The Company ROW Sea Kayak Adventures also provide
facilities of 35 trips in various spots of Canada and they offer trekking adventures in
Kayaking at $ 276 per day that is quite expensive and vehicles do not provide such luxurious
services as Rocky Mountaineer (Hutchinson, 2018).
Such amazing features, premium packages as well as benefits offered by Rocky Mountaineer
are exclusive and they provide great deal of opportunities to wide number of tourists, small
children also get an opportunity in this travel as free care services are rendered to them. There
is a growth of market in this tourism industry and it would surely capture a large market share
in coming years.
