Government
focuses on promoting its country as a tourist destination to
international markets. Each province and territory has its own
ministry, department or agency of tourism that recognizes
the value of tourism and supports its growth. This office often works
with municipalities,
tourism associations or chambers
of commerce
to achieve regional goals, strengthening and diversifying the tourism
products and services available, and fostering
marketing, research and promotional activities.
Industry associations have been established to serve either the entire industry or specific sectors. Some industry associations focus on marketing. Other associations focus on education, training and professional development of those working in the tourism industry. There are also associations that concentrate on lobbying or advocacy.

businesses
that benefit from tourism revenue are also part of the tourism
services sector. Travellers who shop for the socks they forgot at
home, or who get a haircut while travelling, contribute dollars to
the local economy. As the World Tourism Organization defines tourism
simply as the activities of those who travel outside their usual
environments, this broad definition means that many businesses
benefit from tourism dollars every day. Any businesses that are
retail in nature are part of the tourism services sector.
