The Tourism Industry Association of Canada’s (TIAC) 2021 Tourism Town Hall series launches this week (April 22) in the Yukon, to be followed by subsequent virtual events in eight more provinces and territories across the country through June 1.

Sponsored by Air Canada and local tourism industry partners, the Zoom events will enable local small and medium-sized business owners the opportunity to meet with TIAC, Destination Canada, and tourism partners to better understand efforts being made on national tourism issues.

The Town Hall will also allow tourism operators the opportunity to provide first-hand input on issues affecting their business and the tourism industry in the time of COVID, as well as provide feedback on government policy for the recovery and rebuilding of the travel and tourism sector.

The Town Halls also provide a front-line forum exposure for governments, TIAC, Destination Canada, and event sponsors to collaborate with small and medium-sized tourism business operators.
