Abstract

Tourism is a powerful economic driver and an innovative industry.  The tourism industry association of Ontario is an advocacy group for the tourism industry. This article highlights TIAO’s top policy priorities for 2020 and how the Association has worked to align industry innovation and key amendments to Provincial regulatory frameworks.  TIAO policy recommendations range from ways to develop necessary transportation and infrastructure to provide greater connectivity across Ontario; strategies to address the growing labour shortage; recommendations for land-use planning and increasing the housing supply in every region; and mechanisms to support the long-term investment necessary to grow the tourism industry and continue their unparalleled ROI.
