Every year tourists, including hunters and anglers, spend about $1.5 billion in Saskatchewan. In 2005, more than 70,000 people hunted in the province, 22,000 of them coming from other provinces or countries, mainly the United States. Hunters spent $107.5 million in the province, or eight per cent of the amount spent by all tourists. Most of that money was spent in rural areas where the economic activity generated by hunters resulted in more than 1,000 full-time jobs.
