Too boring to visit?

The National Post this morning quotes a UN report as saying that international travellers find Canada too boring to visit.

UNITED NATIONS - More people around the world are visiting other countries -- but passing on Canada, according to a United Nations study released yesterday.

While the number of tourists travelling abroad is up 4.5% over the past year worldwide, Canada saw a 4.1% decline. Officials say we're seen as unexciting, increasingly expensive and a hassle to enter when arriving at the U.S. border.

Personally, I would think that the South Park movie and high loonie have something to do with it as well.
