As of 2018 there are 39 National Parks and eight National Park Reserves, covering an area of approximately 328,198 km² (126,718 sq mi), or about 3.3% of the total land area of Canada, and representing 30 of the 39 natural regions. Last year, the national parks in Canada brought in approximately 16 million visitors compared to the 330 million tourists that come to U.S. national parks.
