## Caption

The overall value of tourism for Abbotsford in 2019 was approximately $46.8 million (based on estimated expenditures from overnight visitors for lodging, food, gas, retail, ⁠entertainment, etc.). This is an 11% increase from 2018 where the estimated spending was $42.2 million.⁠
⁠
However this year due to the Covid-19 crisis and travel restrictions, it is estimated that spending on tourism-related services will be $22 million, upwards of a $24 million dollar decline from 2019.⁠
⁠
This will be a challenging year for our industry, but we know we have a wonderful community that cares about our local businesses. Visit www.abbylocals.com/shop to find local small businesses you can support during this time.⁠
