Cision via Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions
The tourism industry is a major economic driver throughout the country, supporting one out of 10 jobs. It contributes to sustainable growth and creates good jobs for middle-class families both in major centres and in communities. The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Tourism, Official Languages and La Francophonie, unveiled a new strategy for the industry on May 21: Creating Middle Class Jobs: A Federal Tourism Growth Strategy. This approach aims to bolster growth and diversify the industry through unique, new or enhanced experiences with the potential to attract tourists year-round, in all regions.

All travellers crossing the border between Canada and the United States can expect to have some of their personal information recorded now that a new phase of a border agreement has been implemented.
The program started in 2012, when border agencies for both countries began collecting information on third-country nationals and permanent legal residents at four land border ports between the U.S. and Canada. Over the years, the information gathering slowly ramped up, spreading to every land entry point between the two countries.

Three more deaths this year and more mayhem along "Carnage Alley," the Highway 401 west of London, are frustrating Southwestern Ontarians pushing for a major safety upgrade they say the province should speed up.
But after learning construction of promised concrete median barriers isn’t planned now until late 2020 at the earliest, a full year after the Progressive Conservative government’s initial pledge, that frustration is becoming anger for Alysson Storey, who founded the Build the Barrier citizen’s group that made the deadly, 128-km section of highway a regional issue in last year’s provincial election.

A Quebec City councillor is calling for a crackdown on tourist buses — buses, he says, that are all too often left idling while passengers visit sites or eat in restaurants.
"This is totally unacceptable because the city has its own regulations that prohibit the running of a vehicle when it is not in use," said Coun. Jean Rousseau.
Quebec City is experiencing another record year in terms of tourism, with tour group operators driving that increase. As a result, tourist buses are multiplying in Old Quebec.

Visitors to the Craganmor Point Resort near Parry Sound often come by boat to dine on the dockside patio restaurant that overlooks the picturesque waters of Georgian Bay.
But with water levels on the bay reaching record highs, resort staff have had to construct elevated walkways on the deck so clients can access the restaurant. The number of visitors making the trip to the island resort dropped sharply in the spring, and, this summer, those still keen to eat at the restaurant’s waterside patio have had to dine with their feet submerged in several inches of lake water.

In 2017, 259,000 sport tourists came to play in Niagara and contributed more than $45 million to the local economy, but the competition for those dollars is fierce.
And the heavy lifting when it comes to promoting Niagara as a sports event host is left to a hodgepodge of venue staff, volunteers, local area municipalities and destination marketing offices.

As a frequent traveller, there’s nothing I dislike more than being referred to as a tourist. Yet as a frequent solo traveller, I tend to seek out opportunities to co-mingle with like-minded travellers, which typically means joining a group tour — and that is when the "tourist" label is inevitably slapped on my face.
