National Tourism Week is here!

It’s no secret that tourism is a powerful economic driver in Canada, contributing billions to the economy and employing more than 2.2 million people across the country.

From live music and culinary tourism to accommodations, transportation, and business events, tourism touches every part of how people experience a destination.

This week, we’re highlighting the organizations helping power Canada’s visitor economy, from Ontario.

Follow along all week!

Join us in celebrating National Tourism Week by sharing your stories, experiences, and the impact of tourism in your community.

Kindness is more than a campaign. A recent act from a good Samaritan reminded me that the best of our city is found in our people. Special thanks to the person in the Green Bay Packers jacket who cared and helped. #LdnOnt #KindessAlwaysWins

TOURISM SUSTAINS EVERY CORNER OF ONTARIO.

Ahead of Ontario’s 2026 Budget, TIAO has delivered a set of pre-budget recommendations to the government - continuing to proactively drive industry priorities forward and build awareness of the positive economic impact of tourism for the province.

📘 TIAO’s Pre-Budget 2026 recommendations are grounded in the Forward Motion Strategic Playbook for Ontario’s Tourism Industry (2025–2030) and focus on six integrated objectives:

✈️ Attracting more visitors and spending
🚆 Expanding transportation and access
👥 Strengthening workforce resilience
🗺️ Facilitating product development and capacity investment
🌱 Advancing practical sustainability
🤝 Fostering collaboration and leadership across Ontario’s tourism ecosystem

Collectively, these priorities support clear long-term outcomes, including growing visitor spending by 4% annually to $38.1 billion by 2030, creating 35,000 net new jobs, and generating an additional $1.5 billion in annual tax revenues.
