Talk:Tourism in Canada

message: This article reads like a Tourism office promotion of nice places to visit, not an encyclopedic article. There are no statistics, just a list of scenic places per province. Other articles about tourism provide this type of statistical information. Useful information such as: 
* How many visitors come to Canada annually? From which countries do they come? What about a table listing visitor arrivals?
* How much profit in $ does the tourism generate for the Canadian economy?
* Are the numbers rising or falling?  How did the 2008 financial meltdown affect travel to Canada? 
* What about history, when it began, how did air travel and rail travel affect it? 
* How do tourists normally get around Canada? Rail, air or driving?
* What parts of Canada are visited most, statistically?
etc
This would better match other tourism articles for other countries. I don't think the point of tourism articles is to use Wikipedia as a travel guidebook (which this article currently looks like) it's to provide encyclopedic and statistical information.

thread_title: No statistics, no hard information. Expansion would be useful

message: I've tried to clean up the introduction to some extent; hope it sounds less like a travel guide now. More can obviously be done -- any feedback? Raudys 15 March 2009
