One of the mainstays of the tourism industry in Newfoundland and Labrador is big game hunting and fishing. Each year thousands of anglers and hunters from all over the globe travel to take part in these outdoor sports.

A land of enormous wilderness, Newfoundland and Labrador has established itself as a primary destination for outdoor sports. Since confederation with Canada in 1949, the tourism industry has been steadily on the increase and contributes more and more to the provincial economy. Although flawed on times, the government has done a great deal of establishing and maintaining a wildlife and game fish population to support a huge demand for the outdoor sports of this province.

In recent years adventure tours is becoming very popular in Newfoundland and Labrador. Boat tours, snowmobile tours, aircraft tours and other sightseeing tours are on the verge of becoming a major part of Newfoundland and Labrador's tourism industry.

The outfitters of province should be commended for their tremendous effort they have put forth in providing the lodging, meals, guides and most of all the "Hospitality" to make Newfoundland and Labrador one of the best places in the world to enjoy outdoor sports.
