No statistics, no hard information. Expansion would be useful

[edit]

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.

Why was this page previously on the Voted for Deletion page? Does somebody have a problem with the idea of tourism in Canada? SD6-Agent 12:09, 30 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Introduction

[edit]

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

That list is too long, this material should be merged onto this page. Kevlar67 22:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
