The Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC) is launching a ground-breaking sustainable tourism program to support communities across all 13 Canadian Provinces and Territories. The program will assist small and medium enterprises, Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs), and other tourism stakeholders and organizations across all sectors of the industry in building awareness and capacity to develop more sustainably; that is, in a manner that maximizes positive environmental, social, and economic impact while reducing negative externalities.

Participation in this program is complementary and is available to all Canadian tourism businesses, not only TIAC members.

The program includes specialized workshops, one-on-one coaching, and certification support around the following topics:

  • SDG Decade of Action Planning

  • Fast Track to Sustainable Tourism & Pathway to Net Zero Carbon

  • Flourishing Business Strategy for Tourism

  • Regenerative Event Management

  • The Pathway to Regenerative Trails Tourism

  • Strong Farm & Rural Shores - Rural Community Strategy

These topics will be reviewed in the virtual Sustainable Tourism Symposiums. The Western symposium is on January 10, 7:45 AM - 2:30 PM PST.

Further resources, tools, and materials will be available to participants to continue support once the program is complete.

If you have any questions about the program or how to register, contact TIAC at contact@tiac-aitc.ca or (613) 238-7887.
