New markets, domestic travel, boost industry outlook

The Canadian Tourism Industry: Industrial Outlook analyzes the profitability of Canada’s tourism sector by projecting revenues and costs, and is prepared for the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) by the Conference Board of Canada. The tourism sector is broken down into four industries: transportation, accommodation, food and beverage services, and “other” tourism.

These industries are based on spending, employment, price and gross domestic product (GDP) data derived from the National Tourism Indicators – a quarterly publication developed by Statistics Canada in partnership with the CTC. The financial data is based on the Quarterly Financial Statistics for Enterprises, published by Statistics Canada. The data in all of these categories include only travel‑;related activity, and the forecasts are available quarterly to the year 2011.
