The National Tourism Investor Readiness™ Program is designed for tourism operators who have or are near completion on a solid business plan and have established their capital requirements. The program is particularly suited to small and medium-sized business owners and startups who may have limited financial knowledge or experience with seeking investment, debt financing and/or grant funding. It offers the tools and knowledge to navigate the funding ecosystem effectively, and the steps to becoming Tourism Investor READI™ designated.
