On February 21, the Honourable Terry Duguid, Minister for PrairiesCan announced a federal investment of over $1.85 million to support nine projects that showcase the growing potential of world-class tourism experiences and cultural initiatives that drive economic growth across Manitoba.
TIAM is grateful to receive $125,000 to support export readiness activities for tourism operators in Manitoba.
“With support from PrairiesCan, this project equips Manitoba tour operators to compete more effectively in competitive international markets. By providing specialized training and collaborating with Indigenous Tourism Manitoba on the delivery of training to Indigenous operators, TIAM is empowering local tourism businesses, especially in key rural and northern regions, to attract higher-spending international visitors, ultimately fostering long-term success for Manitoba’s tourism sector.”
