The City of Weyburn houses many events throughout the year, concerts, sporting events, the Oil and Gas Show just to name a few. This means many outside visitors are drawn to Weyburn, the question is, do we have enough hotel space?

"Weyburn has seven hotels and motels combined and they currently have 479 rooms, it actually does really shed a light on just how much capacity Weyburn does have for visitors," says Twila Walkeden, Executive Director of Weyburn Regional Economic Development. "Certainly Weyburn tourism and Weyburn economic development is always looking for ways to bring people into Weyburn and to attract those visitors to our beautiful city."

During some of the larger events hosted in Weyburn, visitors can have trouble finding hotel vacancy.

"What's the capacity, is there an opportunity to build more hotels," says Walkeden. "I do think that with time and the long term market outlook, you know, obviously the increase in oil activity that we're starting to see the increase in tourism related events we might just see potential hotel investors watching us a bit more closely."

It's hard to say whether Weyburn will see more hotels in the future as it is extremely dependant on outside investors.
