Tourism is an important sector in the Canadian economy. The direct value added contribution of the tourism industry to the Canadian Cross Domestic product is about 3 percent, only slightly less than agriculture (3.3 %). This figure could rise to over 6 percent if one includes the indirect contributions from other industries supporting tourism. The direct revenues of the Canadian tourism industry amounted to almost $ 20 billion in 1984, including $ 4 billion from international visitors. The industry employs about 600,000 people directly and together with indirect employment tourism accounts for roughly 10 percent of Canadian jobs
