In case you might have other ideas about the impor tance of tourism in your day-to-day life, consider this: nearly 1,000 Salt Spring Islanders have jobs that are directly affected by tourism. The remainder of working islanders have jobs that are indirectly affected — in varying degrees — by the strength of the tourist industry. And those who are not working at all but enjoy the amenities that many local businesses offer them can also be thankful for the annual influx of visitors. There is no other single contributor to the local econo my as large as tourism. Nothing else comes close to matching the millions of dollars that tourism brings to the island. Stop the tourists from coming and half of Salt Spring's business community would be gone in a year. That's why the efforts of organizations such as Tourism Vancouver Island are so important to all of us. It is also why we must place a high priority on tourism marketing. The Salt Spring Chamber of Commerce is a founding member of Tourism Vancouver Island, which is one rea son why that group's board members travelled to Salt Spring earlier this week for a regular meeting.
