A Place for All Seasons In Canada, tourism is a booming business employing more than half a million people in industries such as transportation, accommodation, recreation and entertainment. That year, almost 20 million international tourists visited Canada, and Canadians made more than 15 million overnight trips to provinces outside their own. From coast to coast, this vast country offers world-class adventures, great outdoor experiences, and entertaining activities.
Visitors are sure to find whatever they seek.
Outdoor enthusiasts can participate in any number of sports such as skiing, fishing, hiking, white water rafting and cycling, among others. History buffs can explore 836 national historic sites, as well as forts and museums that bring the past to life. And culture seekers can enjoy the cuisine, arts and traditions that give Canada its unique character. While some might consider tourism a seasonal industry limited primarily to the warmer climes of spring, summer and fall, in Canada this is a year-round business. When the snow blankets much of the landscape, it's time to play at one of our many winter getaways.
