Student Independent Projects Tourism 2014: Outfitting Tourism: A Successful Tourism Niche in Newfoundland and Labrador

Outfitting tourism is valuable to Newfoundland’s economy. Although it accounts for a small percentage of Newfoundland’s tourism sector it generates larger revenues than most other tourism activities within the province and stimulates the economy of the areas surrounding the outfitting camps. This research project takes a closer look at where the visitors come from and exactly how much revenue they bring to the province. Questionnaires were sent out to all outfitting companies with listed email addresses, as well as hotels and restaurants in rural areas within close proximity of an outfitting company. Online research and library research was also a major part of this paper
