As in the other Atlantic provinces,tourism has become increasingly important to the Newfoundland economy. In the early 1990s about 265,000 nonresidents visited Newfoundland; overall, travelers' expenditures totaled about $600 million annually. Tourist attractions include the city of St. John's, the excavated Viking settlement at L'Anse-aux-Meadows, and the many picturesque ports along Newfoundland's coast. Gros Morne National Park in the western part of the island is considered one of the most beautiful national parks in Canada; the province's second national park, Terra Nova, is on the eastern side of the island. Newfoundland ... maintains some 93 provincial parks, recreation areas, and campgrounds.
