TIAO welcomes the introduction of the Growing Agritourism Act

TIAO welcomes the introduction of the Growing Agritourism Act
18 Apr 2024 by Jessica Ng

 

In this week’s TIAO highlights:

  • The Federal Budget dropped this week, with major housing investments and notable investments in a new VIA Rail fleet, high-frequency rail, and national parks. The federal government is also proposing a new Carbon Rebate for Small Businesses to return fuel charge proceeds. In case you missed it, here’s our budget breakdown.

Finally, as a follow-up to our call with DMOs earlier this week, TIAO is conducting a survey to:

  • Understand in greater detail the MAT challenges being experienced in Ontario destinations and to obtain feedback on potential solutions; and
  • understand challenges and priorities with respect to local and regional market and destination development.  

If you are a DMO or provide MAT services to destinations, please complete the survey here.  

 

Thank you for your continued support. And as always, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to send me an email at jng@tiaontario.ca.
