The Travel & Tourism Industry
In Canada tourism is a growing industry:
|
$102 billion of which $22.1 billion in export revenue |
22.1 million international visitors in 2019 |
|
1.8 million jobs largest employer of Canadian youth |
225,000 businesses across Canada |
But the COMPETITION is fierce:
- Travel and tourism is a fiercely competitive global industry where quality of experience, cost competitiveness and ease of access are key. While tourism to Canada is stronger than ever, we are being outperformed by competing countries for a greater share of the global tourism market.
- Canada still has not regained enough ground to be in the UNWTO Top Ten countries for visitation as it once was.
- Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in the world – it’s important to continue to invest in tourism while it is performing well to continue showcasing Canada to the world and grow tourism’s economic impact.
