Tourism in Canada will move to a new level
The government has announced the creation of a new federal program for the development of tourism.
The tourism sector is very important to Canada. Tourism attracts thousands of people to the country every year. Many tourists fall in love with the country and decide to move to Canada permanently, which is only welcomed in the Maple Leaf country. But the main advantage of tourism is, of course, its contribution to the country's economy. Tourism brings a lot of money to Canada, and also creates many jobs in every part of the country: whether in remote rural areas or in major metropolitan areas. Canada has a lot to offer to everyone: you can find solitude in nature, experience adventure in nature, see unique landscapes, learn about the life of indigenous people, visit the world's megacities, where life never stops for a second. The tourism sector around the world has suffered in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But now that the borders are open again and travel demand is higher than ever, Canada has the opportunity to become one of the world's tourism leaders. After all, not all of the country's tourism potential has been realized. And the Canadian government is eager to take advantage of this opportunity.
Canada's Minister of Tourism and Assistant Minister of Finance Randy Boissonneau today unveiled a new Federal Tourism Growth Strategy called "Canada 365: Welcoming the World. Every Day". The strategy is expected to unlock the full potential of Canada's tourism sector and make the country a leading tourist destination. The priorities of the strategy are as follows:
-
Investment in Canada's tourism assets;
-
Encouragement of outdoor recreation and entertainment;
-
Development of indigenous tourism;
-
Holding more international events;
-
Improving communication through the federal ministerial council.
The new Federal Tourism Growth Strategy was developed with input from the tourism industry, industry associations, governments, aboriginal people and targeted marketing organizations. Their understanding of the challenges facing Canada's tourism sector and their knowledge of the industry's future have helped shape a strategy that can serve as the foundation for growth in the tourism sector, and therefore the Canadian economy.
