Destination Canada – Tools

Offered by Government of Canada, Destination Canada

National Tourism & Hospitality

Program Overview

Tourism businesses across Canada often struggle with one common challenge: standing out in a crowded global market while staying true to what makes their experience uniquely Canadian. Destination Canada – Tools is designed to help tourism and hospitality operators strengthen their marketing approach by giving them access to national-level insights, brand guidance, and practical resources that can elevate how they promote their offerings to travellers.

Delivered by Destination Canada, this initiative focuses less on direct cash funding and more on expert-backed tools that can have a real impact on visibility and credibility. Businesses can tap into the Canadian Tourism Data Collective, a centralized platform that shares tourism data, research, and market insights to support better decision-making. The program also provides access to Brand Canada resources, including a comprehensive brand playbook, visual asset libraries, and logo guidance that help businesses align their marketing with Canada’s globally recognized tourism brand. For operators working with media or developing new content, these tools can make campaigns more effective and consistent across markets.

Available nationally and relevant to a wide range of tourism and hospitality businesses, Destination Canada – Tools is an ongoing opportunity for organizations looking to sharpen their marketing strategy without taking on additional financial risk. Understanding how these resources can be used within your own business starts with exploring the program in more detail.
