The Ontario Ministry of Tourism is providing this model (TREIM) on the web to make it easier for organizations and individuals working in, or interested about tourism to determine the economic impact of visitors' and businesses' spending in this area on the local and provincial economies.
What does TREIM do?
TREIM produces the following:
- Estimates of the Direct, Indirect and Induced impacts of tourism-related activities on Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
- Estimates of the Direct, Indirect and Induced impacts of tourism-related activities on Labour Income and Employment (Number of Jobs).
- Estimates of the Direct and Total impacts of tourism-related activities on Federal, Provincial and Municipal Tax Revenues.
