What are some statistics about how tourism affects local businesses?

Tamborine asked:


I would assume that toursim impacts local economy by creating jobs and bringing tourism dollars into the community. Do you know any statistics or good information sources regarding this?

    Tourism is down by 70 percent this year (for the month of April, 2006) compared to last year’s figures, and thusly, revenue for my hotel is down by 68 percent. Very relative, don’t you think?
