Economic Benefits of Outfitted Hunts for Barren-Ground Caribou in the
NWT. 48 pp.
ABSTRACT
A
survey of the barren-land caribou outfitting industry in the North and
South Slave Regions of the Northwest Territories (NWT) was done during the
winter of 1999/2000 to estimate the benefits of the industry to the NWT.
Outfitter revenue and expenditures, and expenditures of
non-resident hunters using the services of these outfitters were
estimated.
This information was used in an input-output analysis to estimate
the NWT economic impacts of barren-ground caribou outfitting.
The contribution to NWT gross domestic product of barren-ground
caribou outfitting was estimated to be $3.13 million in 1999.
Between 109 and 179 seasonal jobs and 880 person-weeks of
employment were estimated to have been provided to NWT residents by
barren-ground caribou outfitters in 1999.
The NWT economic impact of each non-resident barren-ground caribou
hunter was estimated to be $5,300.
Each caribou allocated to outfitting was estimated to have an NWT
economic impact of $3,400. |
