They do pay taxes in the province though...

Hotel taxes, sales taxes, income taxes on the wages of the people providing services to tourist, etc.

Tourism is one of the easiest injections of money possible into a local economy

A couple visiting for a week can easily spend $2,000+ on lodging, food, and activities.

can easily spend $2,000

Do you always do math based on 'could'? What's the tax rate on "we could win the lottery"?

I mean, there is actual data on this... it's easy enough to google.
