International Tourism To B.C. Increasing, With France In Lead
Almost 360,000 more international visitors came to the province in 2015, with the total number approaching five million people.
The ministry is crediting its marketing strategy, along with the province's aboriginal tourism sector and more direct flights to B.C. for the jump in visitors from outside Canada.
It says B.C.'s tourism sector is growing despite fierce global competition for tourists and that the industry generated $14.6 billion in revenue in 2014.
