TOURIST OUTFITTERS 



With the exception of Tourist Establishments operated exclusively 

 for transient tourists and the travelling public, most cumps and resorts 

 catering to the tourist trade outfit patrons in some form or another for 

 fishing or hunting or camping. 



In that part of the Province lying North and West of the Canadian 

 National Railway line from Parry Sound easterly to Pembroke, such a business 

 is designated in Section 21 of the Game and Fisheries Act as a Tourist Out- 

 fitters' Camp, subject to regulation and control by a system of licencing in 

 accordance with the Departmental Land Use and Recreational Zoning Plan, 



General prosperity continued to create a constant although 

 seasonal demand for accommodation which encouraged some further expansion 

 in the industry; Although the net annual gain of licenced camps was only 

 just over 1% there were ^3 new camps completed and licenced during the year, 

 while 34- authorized camps were either closed temporarily for repairs and 

 reorganization or converted to private or other purposes.
