The guide outfitting industry in British Columbia generates about $116 million of economic activity each year. Dollars generated by guide outfitting are new dollars being injected into the economy, making them even more valuable in economic terms than dollars already in circulation.

More than 2,000 people, including about 1,000 assistant guides, are directly employed in the industry, along with many others who benefit from the industry working in sporting goods stores, grocery stores, service stations, hotels, motels and restaurants.

More than 5,000 hunters come to British Columbia each year spending on average more per day per capita than any other visitor to our province. Several thousand other outdoor enthusiasts come to fish and camp.

The guide outfitting industry contributes between $2 million and $3 million each year to the government in license and tag fees, surcharges and royalties, and millions of other dollars in general taxes.
