Travel Alberta support to grow your tourism business
Tourism Investment Program Deadline is November 8
We’re proud of the tourism operators who are growing the visitor economy in FMWB. Our Visit & Explore pages have dozens of businesses and attractions that are welcoming tourists from across Alberta and around the world. Are you dreaming of growing your own tourism business?
Applications are open
Travel Alberta’s Tourism Investment Program helps turn dreams into reality. Whether you are in your first year of business or are looking to expand your current offerings, their programs are designed to help you elevate your tourism business.
The program includes three streams: Product Development, Events & Festivals, and Rural Development & Promotion. For independent businesses, the Product Development stream is likely where you’ll want to focus. It provides grants starting at $75,000 to a maximum of $500,000, though successful applicants will need to contribute a minimum of 25% of the total project costs. You can read all the details about the Product Development stream here. Deadline for applications is November 8.
