More than 12.5 million tourists visited Eastern Ontario during each of the years 2001 through 2003 — including more than 1.3 million from the United States and as many as 200,000 from overseas. Then, in 2004, Ontario East’s four largest tourist regions attracted about 20.3 million person-visits. Looking ahead, the forecast shows strong year-over-year increases in visitor numbers to Ontario.

On the sport-tourism front, Lennox & Addington County is making a name for itself in Canada by hosting large-scale provincial and national events.  In 2008, the National Women's Under-18 Hockey Championship was held at the Strathcona Paper Centre in Napanee and in 2010 the multi-purpose facility was converted seamlessly into a 5-sheet ice pad in order to host the Ontario Men’s Curling Championship.  L&A has successfully hosted the Canadian Midget Fastball Championships on four occasions and in August of 2011 the Junior Canadians will be held in Napanee.
