TORONTO — The Ontario government is continuing to support tourism by maintaining its current level of investment, encouraging the attraction of new investors to build new products and increasing its commitment to support workforce development and skills training.
“The Tourism Industry Association of Ontario (TIAO) is encouraged by the commitment to investment-attraction activities, including an increase in the number of trade missions to emerging markets, and the launch of a certification program that pre-qualifies potential investment sites as development ready,” said Beth Potter, president & CEO, TIAO. “Pre-qualification makes sites more attractive to foreign direct investors and domestic expansion projects, which in turn will allow for new product development in our industry.”
TIAO believes Ontario can create partnerships across the country and capitalize on emerging markets, such as China, India and Brazil, to draw new visitors and increase visitor spending across the province.
