Why do you have appearance guidelines?

Brewster Attractions serves an international clientele with various cultural backgrounds and tastes and sets itself apart from other attractions by providing an excellent professional image. This conservative image includes good grooming and proper dress. Appearance is a very personal thing, but it is important that fashion styles do not draw the guest's attention away from the total Canadian Rockies experience.
