Canada’s tourism sector is a major economic driver and a growing investment opportunity, contributing more than US$260 million (C$364 million) daily into over 5,000 communities across the country, and returning US$23.4 billion (C$32.7 billion) in municipal, provincial and federal tax revenue in 2024.
With tourism revenue projected to reach US$154.4 billion (C$216 billion) by 2035, this next phase of growth will require significant investment in tourism infrastructure, experiences and destination assets.
To support this growth, Destination Canada has launched the Tourism Investment Hub, a national platform designed to connect investors with investment-ready opportunities across the country and provide the insights needed to support informed investment decisions.
The Hub brings together:
-
Market intelligence and tourism sector insights
-
Investment-ready opportunities from partners across Canada
-
Direct connections to communities and project proponents
-
A centralized view of funding, grants and incentives
A key feature of the platform is an AI-powered Funding Identification System, developed in partnership with Fundica, which maps grants, tax credits and financing programs, helping investors, communities and tourism partners assess opportunities, understand available incentives and make informed decisions that support capital deployment and the growth of Canada’s visitor economy.
By improving visibility of tourism investment opportunities and strengthening Canada’s national investment narrative, the Hub supports the continued growth and competitiveness of Canada’s visitor economy.
