Jack's Jottings from Queen's Park
The development of
tourism in Ontario has
contribulted quite sub-
stantially to our Province's
economy. It is, in fact, one of
our largest emp"1Qyers and
our second ,biggest industry.
Last year, it produced 2.8
billion in. revenue and em-
ployed 200,000 people.
Without question, it is one
of our greatest sources of
foreign currency. In 1976,
some 20,755,000 tourists from
the United States visited
Ontario, spending in the
neighbourhood of
$750;000,000. Visitors from all
other countries totalled
885,000 and spent a further
$290,000,000.
The tourist industry is vital
to the economy of Ontario,
but it has recently been losing
ground. For a number of
years now, the total numaer
of visitors choosing this
Province for a vacation -land
has been steadily decreasing.
Over the same period, the
number of Ontarians seeking
a sunny southern climate, or
taking advantage of charter
flights Abroad has increased.
This has meant that the
growth rate of tourism
revenues in Ontario has
declined steadily since 1974.
This trend w s particularly
noticeable in 1976. A number
of factors made this • a
somewhat disastrous year for
Ontario tourism: ,the Mon-
treal Olympics, 'the U.S.
Bicentennial celebrations and
the U.S.' Presidential Elec-
tion, the energy crisis, con-
fusion regarding sizes of U.S.

and Canadian gallons of
gasoline, the exchange rate
on the dollar, negative
publicity regarding mercury
pollution of some of our lakes,
and the general economic
slump.
Many
tourist
facility
oPerators throughout the
Province looked forward to
1977 for a return to increased
valuable tourist dollars. So
far the prospects are not very
good.
For some reason, the slump
