There’s no sugar-coating it—this year has devastated Canada’s visitor economy and we don’t yet know what the road to recovery will look like.
It’s been a hard year, and we’ll feel its impact for years to come.
But now, it’s time to press pause and reconnect. To come together with our colleagues and share our stories (the good and the bad). To get the tools and insights we need to rebuild the visitor economy and recover from the pandemic.
It’s time for the 2020 TIAC Tourism Congress.
Traditionally, TIAC’s Tourism Congress is an in-person event that brings together tourism operators from coast to coast to coast. But this year, we’re going virtual.
And we hope you’ll join us November 17 & 18!

CANADIAN EXPERIENCES FUND
This year’s TIAC Tourism Congress is funded through the Canadian Experiences Fund (CEF) in partnership with the Government of Canada.
Providing $58.5 million over two years, the CEF will support communities across Canada as they create and enhance tourism products, facilities, and experiences.
The CEF invests in products and experiences that showcase Canada’s strengths while growing tourism beyond major cities and the summer season.
Investments focus on expanding winter and shoulder-season tourism, growing tourism in rural and remote communities, increasing Indigenous tourism, promoting inclusiveness (especially for the LGBTQ2 community), and boosting culinary and farm-to-table experiences.
