The Trudeau government will provide $ 40 million to 60 projects in the tourism sector in 50 cities in Quebec.
We are targeting projects that will really help revitalize the tourism sector in every community in the long run and will really serve as a machine to stimulate the local economy.explained Pascale St-Onge, Minister responsible for Canada’s Economic Development Agency for the Quebec Regions, on Friday.
The announcement took place in Montreal, where the Minister announced the provision of $ 500,000 in aid for the L’INFINI experience, a virtual reality activity based on photos taken outside the International Space Station. The presentation will return to Montreal in January 2023 with a long-term installation.
The full list of project targets is not yet known and will be shown in future announcements in the relevant regions.
The $ 40 million assistance announced Friday comes from a $ 500 million Tourism Assistance Fund envelope announced in July 2021. Of this amount, $ 118.8 million is allocated for Quebec. Ms. said. St-Onge that the envelope still contains unused funds to be distributed.
