According to the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) tourism is becoming one of the world’s fastest-growing industries. In fact, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), annual international tourist arrivals surpassed the one billion mark in 2012. Between now and 2030, international tourist arrivals are set to increase by an average 43 million a year to reach 1.8 billion. For Canada, international tourism plays an equally important role in the economy by supporting an estimated 157,500 tourism-related businesses and some 602,800 jobs in 2011.
