COMMENTS: THE YUKON SUSPENSION BRIDGE IS A MAJOR TOURIST ATTRACTION IN NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA!

THE BRIDGE SPANS THE WHITE WATER RAPIDS OVER THE SPECTACULAR TUTSHI RIVER. THE TUTSHI RIVER IS ONE OF THE PREMIER (CLASS 5 RAPIDS) WHITEWATER EXPERIENCES IN NORTH AMERICA.

THE BRIDGE AND BUILDING WERE BUILT IN THE SPRING OF 2006. THE BUILDING HOUSES THE RESTAURANT, GIFT SHOP AND THE INTERPRETIVE DISPLAYS AND OFFERS ITS OWN SPECTACULAR VIEWS FROM ITS DECKS.

THE YUKON SUSPENSION BRIDGE IS OPEN EACH YEAR FROM MAY THROUGH SEPTEMBER.

THE MAJORITY OF THE VISITORS TO THE YUKON SUSPENSION BRIDGE COME FROM CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS WHO ARRIVE IN SKAGWAY, ALASKA AND ARE LOOKING FOR AN EXCITING SHORE EXCURSION. THE YUKON SUSPENSION BRIDGE IS JUST 45 MINUTES FROM THE SKAGWAY CRUISE SHIP TERMINAL AND ALL OF THE MAJOR CRUISE LINES SELL EXCURSIONS TO THE YUKON SUSPENSION BRIDGE AND ARRANGE MOTOR COACH TRANSPORTATION TO THE BRIDGE, THROUGH SOME OF THE MOST SPECTACULAR SCENERY IN SOUTHEAST ALASKA.

THERE IS ALSO A COMBINATION TRAIN/MOTOR COACH OPTION, AND CAR RENTALS FOR THE MORE INDEPENDENT TOURIST. VISITORS FROM WHITE HORSE, YUKON HAVE A VERY SCENIC ONE HOUR DRIVE TO THE YUKON SUSPENSION BRIDGE.

THE YUKON SUSPENSION BRIDGE AND BUILDING COST OVER $2 MILLION TO CONSTRUCT IN 2006. THE BRIDGE OPENED IN THE SPRING OF 2006 AND REVENUES HAVE INCREASED RESPECTABLY EVERY SEASON SINCE. THE $784,000 IN REVENUES PROJECTED FOR THE 2009 SEASON ARE BASED ON REASONABLE ASSUMPTIONS DERIVED, IN PART, FROM STEADY YEAR-OVER-YEAR INCREASES IN REVENUES EACH SEASON.

THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A VERY POPULAR TOURIST ATTRACTION THAT YIELDS A VERY RESPECTABLE ANNUAL INCOME IN JUST FIVE MONTHS EACH YEAR. THERE IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL TO STEADILY INCREASE REVENUES EVERY SEASON.
