Destination Canada launches free, AI-driven tool to help tourism organizations find funding.

Canada’s tourism sector is a major economic driver, generating over $140.5 billion in revenue in 2025 and supporting over 5,000 communities across the country. A lack of investment in tourism infrastructure, assets, and experiences drove Destination Canada to launch a free AI driven Funding Search Engine, powered by Fundica, to help Canadian tourism organizations and businesses find and access funding programs that match their needs quickly, easily, and all in one place.  

The new Funding Search Engine is a game-changer for Canada’s tourism sector, including businesses, communities, and investors, connecting them directly to the right opportunities, from grants and loans to tax credits, equity, and private sector funding. Designed to break down barriers, it empowers underrepresented business owners to access the capital they need to grow and thrive. Accessible in English and French and free to use, the platform provides a single, trusted gateway to Canada’s entire funding landscape.  

By unlocking data-driven insights into funding and investment trends, it fuels innovation, strengthens our tourism ecosystem, and drives inclusive economic growth across the country.
