Barrie, Ontario……... June 2005 Tourism Month
in Canada, is an opportunity to celebrate the many ways "Tourism
Makes Canada Smile" and to raise awareness among Canadians and their
governments of its tremendous economic and social importance. Coordinated
by the Tourism Industry Association of Canada, it provides a focal point
for activities and events planned across the country by individual businesses,
provincial, territorial and regional tourism industry associations, destination
marketing organizations and others.
Here in the Highway 400 and Highway 11 corridors, many of the 400 Eleven
members have June
Getaway packages, including fishing,
golf and spa
packages.
Tourism is a $55 billion industry that keeps 1.6 million Canadians employed.
Less tangible but just as important are the opportunities tourism gives
Canadians to discover and enjoy their country, and to develop a greater
understanding of their fellow citizens.
"Tourism contributes so much to the standard of living and quality
of life in Canada and here in the 400eleven corridor,
north of Toronto, tourism is the primary economic engine that stimulates
the economy of many towns, cities and rural regions.” states Ron
Taylor, President of 400Eleven.com "Clearly, tourism gives us a lot
to smile about all year long." adds Taylor
