PETERTHEEATER Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Just how do they count arrivals let alone establish them as tourists? I lived 17 years in HH crossing the Provincial line hundreds of times. Was I tracked by some invisible TAT rep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
