The Environment of Vancouver

The city of Vancouver has lots of different environment between summer and winter. First, climate of Vancouver in summer is unlike winter in that summer is very nice and cool temprature and long day time while winter is lots of rainy day that is almost everyday and very short day time. Summer sports is very different from winter sports. In summer, people enjoy playing sports such tennis, golf, fishing and hiking. In winter, people enjoy playing sports on the ice and snow such as skiing, snowboarding, ice-hockey and ice-skate. Next, I would like to compare to the business in Vancouver between summer and winter. The business in winter is smaller than in summer. In vancouver, their main business is tourism. In winter, number of tourist become much fewre than summer season. However, In winter, Vancouver's business has an advantage of ski-resort. Lots of Vancouver people spend money for enjoy skiing and snowboarding. There are different reason to visit Vancouver from out side of city between summer and winter. In summer, there are lots of tourist coming to Vancouver to watch beautiful city and nature. Some of tourist visit Vancouver every summer to just escape from hot temprature of thier city or town. In the winter, most of tourist visit Vancouver for enjoy skiing and snowboarding. And again some of tourist visit Vancouver every winter to just escape from cold temprature of their city and town.

Consequently, the city of Vancouver has completely different environment between summer and winter.
