Over $8.3 million in funding to support one of the sectors most impacted by COVID-19 health and safety restrictions
VANCOUVER, BC, May 27, 2021 /CNW/ - Tourism in British Columbia has been among the sectors hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic due to the unique challenges presented by shutdowns and travel restrictions. Prior to the pandemic, tourism was a significant contributor to BC s economy with 161,500 jobs at 19,300 businesses, which generated $20.5 billion in revenue and directly contributed $8.3 billion to provincial GDP in 2018. BC has the greatest number of tourism-dependent communities of any province in Canada. From the outset, the Government of Canada has recognized the importance of tourism to British Columbia and has taken action to help the sector survive the pandemic and position it for success when safety restrictions are lifted and tourism operators are able to once again welcome visitors from home and abroad.
