Tourism services can generate income and value in several ways: 1) International tourism receipts are expenditures by international visitors for goods, services, and transportation in the destination country. 2) Tourism generates significant tax revenue for governments through taxes on products and income taxes on tourism sector workers. For example, in Canada over half the tax revenue from tourism in 2006 came from product taxes totaling $10.3 billion, while income taxes on tourism workers generated another $4.5 billion. 3) Tourism activities stimulate economic growth in other sectors as tourists purchase goods and services, benefiting businesses and generating more tax income for governments.
