OTTAWA — Last week, the Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages, Mélanie Joly, announced the appointment of Liza Frulla as Chair of the Board of Directors of Destination Canada.
“We know the tremendous contribution of the tourism sector to our communities, large and small. It supports good jobs in rural areas, small towns, Indigenous communities and big cities from coast to coast to coast,” says Joly. “Ms. Frulla has an excellent track record in the hospitality industry and in the tourism sector as a whole. Her wealth of experience will truly be an asset that will help steer Destination Canada throughout the recovery of Canada’s visitor economy.”
