DEPUTY MINISTER OUTLINES
TOURIST TRADE TO JAYCEES
The importance of the tourist
trade as one of Ontario's top three
or four industries was stressed at
the regular- mr .ing of the Gode-
rich Junior Claihnller of Commerce
Wednesday n.ght of last week bey
Col. C. Douglas- Crowe, Acting De-
puty Minister of the Ontario De-
partment of Travel and Publicity.
The travel and publicity depart-
ment, Col. Crowe, said, was set up
in 1926 to publicize the Province
of Ontario and to make, improve-
ments
mprovements to tourist establishments.
The department tries to promote
travel and to get people to become
travel -conscious.
This year, he said, the depart-
ment is operating on a budget
of $885,000 for the promotion of
the tourist trade in Ontario. But,
he said, the job of tourist prorho-
tion does not rest with the depart-
ment alone. The department's job
is to promote tourist travel in the
province in general. It is up to
individual groups, -such as Junior
Chambers of Commerce, to pro-
mote the tourist industry in Its
own community. "Our department
is .willing to help these groups in
any way we can," Col. Crowe said.
The travel and vacation industry
is one of the greatest assets pos-
sessed by our province and court -
try and one that merits support
of every citizen, he said. "Travel

tive - and unifying influences in
our world today!'
People from the United States
are Ontario's best tourist custom=
ers. By studying -and comparing
statistics, Col. Crowe said, the de-
partment has concluded that the
province . entertains 17,000,000
people from the United States
each year, and they bring with
them $2,250,000. •- "That revenue
places the tourist industry among
the top three or' four of our major
industries," he said. "The tourist
industry, has grown annually and
we see no reason whyit shouT4 `
not continue to grow."
Col. Crowe brought withhim two
motion pictures and one slide film.
One of the motion pictures was
about the Blue Water Highway
