Government of Canada
In 2019, the Government of Canada launched Creating Middle Class Jobs: A Federal Tourism Growth Strategy. The objective of the strategy was to unleash tourism's potential to drive economic growth and job creation in all regions of the country.
The context in which that strategy was drafted is very different from today's. Canada's tourism sector was booming, bringing in record numbers of international visitors in 2017 and 2018 and accounting for one in ten jobs. The strategy was designed to build on this momentum.
