Even though 688,000 is a really big number by most standards, Japan is now welcoming about 40 million tourists per year. We're not even in the top 10, to my knowledge, but we are one of the largest draws. North American tourism has become very important for Japan.
I would need to verify this data point, but I believe the tourism industry here is now more valuable than the value of auto exports to the world as a percentage of GDP. That's not to say that one is more valuable than the other. It's to illustrate the size of the tourism sector here. We are definitely an important market. Air Canada operates a lot of its regional operations from here, I think based on a lot of the success they've had from this market.
