Pre-Budget 2022

 

With Budget 2022 quickly approaching, we need your help. Your participation over the next few weeks will be essential to our success.

As we look forward to a summer season absent of public health and travel restrictions, the sector’s work building forward is just beginning.

Last summer, the Government of Canada launched the Tourism Growth Strategy Consultation to help our industry, which was uniquely the hardest hit by the pandemic. Throughout the summer, we engaged members to gather input on what the government should focus on in the Tourism Growth Strategy to achieve its goals of increasing growth, investment, and stability.

The Tourism Growth Strategy is critically important to the future of our sector. We need to ensure that it is made a priority by the Government and that the Strategy is adequately financed via the coming Budget.

As part of this consultation, the Coalition of Hardest Hit Businesses submitted a report to the Government outlining four key pillars needed to increase growth, investment, and stability in the Tourism sector:

1. Attracting and retaining a sustainable workforce;
2. Improving access for visitors to and within Canada;
3. Developing and promoting tourism assets;
4. Building a regenerative and inclusive industry.

You can read the submission here.

This spring, the Tourism Growth Strategy is set to be released, and we need support from members like you because our voices are louder together.

We need to ensure that Members of Parliament across the country prioritize tourism in Budget 2022.
