TIABC Submit Recommendations to Federal Budget

Advocacy

TIABC has submitted recommendations to the Federal Budget, with a focus on recommendations to unlock private investment, protect jobs and communities, and sustain Canada’s brand as a world-leading destination. The recommendations are as follows:

1). Dedicated Tourism Infrastructure and Attraction Fund; Investment attraction in tourism matters as it multiplies economic impact and future proofs our destinations

2). National Multi-Modal Connectivity Strategy; To unlock growth and access, Canada should adopt a national multi-modal connectivity strategy that links destinations with targeted funding and public-private partnerships.

3). Destination Marketing & International Competitiveness; There is a near-term window of opportunity with leisure, conference, and business travellers. Canada can convert these traveler segments into market share if we act quickly and invest meaningfully.

4). Emergency Preparedness; To protect communities and the tourism economy from escalating climate driven disruptions, Canada should strengthen readiness, response, and recovery for affected tourism businesses.

5). Modernize Tax Rules for Seasonal Tourism; Keep Canada competitive as a visitor destination by modernizing tax rules that currently have unintended consequences including suppressing investment.
