Millennials are being encouraged to become lifetime ambassadors for Canada, both at home and abroad, in the lead up to and during 2017, as we celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary.
The Honourable Bardish Chagger, Minister of Small Business and Tourism, launched the Millennial Travel Program during her keynote address at Rendez-vous Canada (RVC), the annual international tourism trade show taking place this year in Montreal. She was accompanied by the Honourable Melanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage.
Building on an outstanding year for Canada's tourism sector, Budget 2016 announced an additional $50 million over two years to Destination Canada to increase marketing initiatives in important international markets, which will help further boost travel and tourism to Canada.
Quotes
"I am excited about the opportunity for millennials to meet people and to experience and share the cool, fun, diverse activities to do in Canada in the lead up to and throughout 2017. I also look forward to continuing to collaborate with the provinces and territories, industry and Destination Canada to position our tourism sector to take advantage of growth opportunities. Great numbers for tourism mean more jobs and support for local economies, which will in turn benefit the Canadian economy."
- The Honourable Bardish Chagger, Minister of Small Business and Tourism
