24 WINTER 2024 TRAVEL MANITOBA (L–R) WILLIAM GLESBY CENTRE / ROYAL AVIATION MUSEUM OF WESTERN CANADA / BLACK WHEAT BREWING Learn more at travelmanitoba.com/tourism Backed by the award-winning Canada's Heart is Calling brand, collaborative industry partners and an array of transformative demand-generating visitor experiences, tourism is a powerful opportunity to bolster our cities, towns and communities. Our vision for the tourism industry is to double visitor spending by 2030. The Manitoba Tourism Strategy is our roadmap, recognizing Manitoba as a must- visit, four season destination and building on touism's ability to provide greater economic benefits, creating more jobs and improving quality of life for all Manitobans throughout the province. Whenever we go somewhere in Manitoba, it's almost always a tourism experience. Tourism is a vast industry that touches every corner of our province, and it's filled with people who are devoted to creating amazing experiences—whether it's maintaining our parks, running our attractions, operating our hotels, games, concerts, museums, restaurants—or anything in between. From the way a walk around the park can lift our mood, a family trip can bring us closer together or a cultural experience can teach us new perspectives and ways of being, it's all tourism. All of these things—including a $1.8 billion contribution to the economy—we owe to tourism. TOURISM BENEFITS ALL MANITOBANS The Manitoba Tourism Strategy is a collaboration of the Government of Manitoba, the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce and Travel Manitoba, with a goal to grow visitor spending by 50 per cent to reach $2.5 billion by 2030.
