    8 Sectors of Hospitality

    and Tourism
    Accommodation
    Whether you are interested in starting a quaint
    family-run hotel or a remote wilderness lodge, the
    accommodation sector is full of possibility. Since
    2012, the accommodation sector has seen an
    increase in its contribution to the Canadian Gross
    Domestic Product and a rise in employment
    (Statistics Canada).
    Adventure and Recreation
    The adventure tourism and recreation sector includes
    everything from watching wildlife by your lakeside
    lodge to cross-country skiing in the rugged
    backcountry.
    Attractions
    Every province and territory in Canada has major and
    minor attractions that attract visitors and generate
    tourism revenue. Attractions include historic sites,
    heritage homes, museums, halls of fame, art galleries,
    botanical gardens, aquariums, zoos, water parks,
    amusement parks, casinos and cultural attractions.
    Events and Conferences
    Events and conferences contribute dollars to
    communities. Special events, such as festivals and sports
    events, may have formal or informal meetings that take
    place, so meeting space is rented, food and beverages are
    purchased, and/or local transportation is required. All of
    this means money is transferred from travellers to the
    local economy.
    Travel Trade
    The travel trade facilitates the sales and at times the development of
    the holiday itinerary consumers purchase. They act as the middle man
    between the tourism supplier and the client. They package other
    sectors products into an itinerary or sell components separately to their
    travel market.

    The travel trade consists of:

    Travel agents, tour operators, suppliers, trade shows


    Tourism Services
    Consists of organizations, associations, government agencies and
    companies that specialize in serving the needs of the tourism industry
    as a whole rather than the needs of travellers specifically.

    Those working in tourism services include people who research tourism


    trends, advertise and market tourism products, educate or inform
    others about tourism, and those who distribute general tourism
    information, like statistics. Retail businesses that benefit from tourism
    and travel also fall into this sector.
    Food and Beverage
    The Food and Beverage sector is the largest in
    Canada, accounting for the creation of over 700,000
    jobs (Statistics Canada). Considering that everybody
    eats and drinks, this sector can be quite lucrative if
    you have a creative and responsive business idea.
    Transportation
    The Transportation sector refers to any area that
    supports the comfort, safety and enjoyable
    movement of individuals. This sector is divided into
    four categories including Air, Rail, Ground, and
    Water.
