Before the pandemic, tourism spending in the N.W.T. totalled nearly $295 million in 2019-2020, with 117,620 people visiting the territory, largely from elsewhere in Canada. Almost a third of those travellers came to see the aurora, spending nearly $60 million. In another survey conducted by non-profit Northwest Territories Tourism in September 2020, of the 94 tourism operators and those in the tourism-support sector that responded, 88 per cent said revenues in the first seven months of 2020 had dropped compared to 2019, with 75 per cent saying they had decreased by more than half. A total of 443 full-time and 405 part-time jobs were reported to have been lost.
Romanowski said other types of travel to the territory have recovered more quickly such as business and government travel, airline crews staying overnight, inter-territorial travel, and people visiting friends and family.
