No statistics, no hard information. Expansion would be useful

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.

Comments

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

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
