I'm not talking about the Federal Government Tourism industry, I used that term incorrectly. I'm talking about the actual businesses in Toronto that benefit from the parade being the ones that fund it. I'm talking to retail stores, restaurants, hotels, travel agencies that book transport, the airlines and others as example. Not the government.
