Government Celebrates Tourism in Saskatchewan

Released on June 16, 2014

The Government of Saskatchewan is proclaiming June 15-21 as Saskatchewan Tourism Week. 

Part of a broader national initiative called Tourism Week in Canada, which brings attention to the economic opportunity available to Canada through travel and tourism, Saskatchewan Tourism Week provides an excellent opportunity to expand awareness about the importance of tourism in this province. 

Tourism contributes more than $2.12 billion to Saskatchewan’s economy annually, and, in 2012, there were more than 12.5 million visits to and within the province.  Approximately 55,600 residents are employed in tourism or tourism-related jobs. 

“Tourism’s significant contributions to the Saskatchewan economy, image and quality of life are certainly worthy of attention and celebration,” Minister responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said.  “Saskatchewan Tourism Week provides an opportunity to broaden the understanding of tourism’s importance and the benefits that a vibrant, welcoming tourism sector yields.”

“Saskatchewan’s wealth of tourism assets provide countless reasons to celebrate,” Tourism Saskatchewan Interim Chief Executive Officer Mary Taylor-Ash said.  “Beautiful parks and nearly 100,000 lakes framed by lush boreal forest provide limitless opportunities to enjoy outdoor adventure.  We are fortunate to have vibrant urban centres in addition to tranquil rural landscapes and destinations ‘off the beaten path’ that can lead to extraordinary discoveries.  Saskatchewan Tourism Week highlights our many experiences and pays tribute to a dynamic, important industry and to the people who drive its growth and success.”

Communities across the province will be celebrating Saskatchewan Tourism Week with public barbeques, community tours, flag-raising ceremonies, open houses, contests and promotions.
