TIAO’S MEMBER OF THE MONTH IS: THE TOURISM INDUSTRY
We have heard you, we have advocated for you, and now we are pleased to offer one more way to ease your bottom line, increase your engagement, and provide an even more inclusive message as we represent your voice to the provincial government.
“Ontario’s tourism industry is being tried in ways we have never seen before as a result of COVID-19, and yet your strength and Ontario spirit has continued to shine through these uncertain times,” said Lisa MacLeod, Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries.
“The best days of tourism in Ontario are right before us and I hope that this $245,000 investment in your memberships represents the confidence and appreciation that our government has in each and every single tourism operator TIAO represents.”
We would like to thank the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries for making it possible for TIAO to extend complimentary membership to the entire tourism industry in Ontario for 2020. We look forward to hearing from you, having more input, more industry voices and making sure tourism is represented.

An interesting note:
The words that are used in the word cloud are directly taken from those interviews that TIAO’s members used when describing how TIAO has provided value to their organization. We are proud to represent this industry and be your voice. Thank you and we look forward to speaking with you all.
