A Diversified and Resource-based Economy
Tourism
ā
Tourism in Alberta is a significant economic driver. It supports more than
127,000 jobs across Alberta, and generated approximately $8.3 billion in
tourism expenditures in 2014. Forty per cent of these expenditures, about
$3.3 billion, came from out-of-province and international visitors.
The Calgary and area tourism region received the most overnight visitors
in 2014, accounting for one-quarter of all person-nights spent in the
province. The Edmonton and area, Central, and Canadian Rockies tourism
regions followed closely behind, accounting for 22 per cent, 20 per cent
and 16 per cent, respectively.
Alberta offers its residents and visitors exceptional tourism experiences
and adventures. We have world-renowned attractions, vibrant cities, and
the most diverse and scenic landscapes in North America. Alberta has
five UNESCO World Heritage Sites, more than 480 provincial parks, 18
provincial historic sites, and five national parks.
