Tourism is Economic Infrastructure

Tourism is Economic Infrastructure

As global investors gather in Toronto for the Canada Investment Summit, Ontario’s visitor economy is helping make those conversations possible.

Air travel. Hotels and conference venues. Restaurants, attractions and entertainment. These businesses don’t simply serve visitors. They facilitate connection, showcase our communities and help demonstrate why Ontario is a place where people want to visit, live, do business and invest.

It’s a connection at the heart of Forward Motion: Ontario’s Strategic Tourism Playbook 2025–2030. Tourism is a catalyst for investment, economic growth and stronger communities, and a thriving visitor economy is both a signal and a driver of a competitive Ontario.

This week, we’re proud to recognize the tourism operators and professionals playing a role in this important Team Canada moment.

If your organization is part of the activity surrounding the Summit, we’d love to hear what this week has meant for you. Please reach out to us: info@tiaontario.ca.

Ontario moves forward when tourism moves forward.
