Destination Canada Launches National Tourism Investment Hub
Investing in Canada’s tourism growth to reach $216B by 2035
Tourism is one of Canada's top service exports.
Canada’s tourism sector is a major economic driver and a growing investment opportunity, contributing more than $364 million daily into over 5,000 communities across the country, and returning $32.7 billion in municipal, provincial and federal tax revenue in 2024.
With tourism revenue projected to reach $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.
The Hub features a growing pipeline of investment opportunities from across Canada, including mixed-use destination developments, Indigenous-led tourism initiatives, boutique accommodations and experience-based infrastructure projects.
As tourism growth in Canada increasingly depends on expanding supply, the Tourism Investment Hub helps reduce fragmentation in the investment landscape, making it easier for investors to identify opportunities, assess viability and connect with partners.
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.
