History
The Tourism Research Branch (originally named the Tourism and Recreation Studies Branch) was created in 1972 when the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism was formed. The branch assumed the responsibilities of the Travel Research Branch of the defunct Department of Tourism and Information.
In 1973, it became known as the Tourism Research Branch, and became part of the Division of Tourism of the ministry. The branch ceased to exist in 1976.
In 1977, the Tourism Research Branch, the Industrial Research Branch and the Trade Research Branch were moved together into the newly formed Policy and Priorities Division of the ministry. Shortly thereafter, the research functions were reconfigured, and the Tourism Research Branch was absorbed into a new Industry and Trade Analysis Branch (which contained a Tourism Policy and Research Services Section).
