The table below shows the income and jobs generated last year by tourism in Canadian states and territories.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The table shows the amount of money and jobs generated by tourism in Canadian states and provinces.
Ontario gained by far the most amount of money and jobs from tourism with 59,797 million dollars generated and 226,781 jobs created. The least benefitted were the three Canadian territories, Yukon, Nunavut and Northwest Territories, which only gained 147 million dollars and 3,124 jobs, probably due to their isolated location. The jobs figure of 3,124 was not, however, the smallest number of jobs in the table, as tourism only generated 2,866 jobs in Prince Edward Island.
The only other provinces to earn over 1000 million dollars from tourism were Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta, with 5,357 million, 4,913 million and 3,063 million dollars respectively and they also gained 130,018, 96,877 and 69,308 jobs respectively. The remaining 6 provinces gained between 121 million and 683 million dollars and 2,866 and 16,636 jobs.
The overall totals of 76,102 million dollars earned and 606,527 jobs generated clearly illustrate the significance of the tourism industry in Canada.
