    "While we have an incredible backdrop, we’ve lacked a lead agent to unify Alberta’s advocacy, and we cannot simply rely on our good looks for our industry’s future."

TIAA’s vision is that Alberta’s tourism industry will be the driving force of sustainable, community economic development.

We represent all aspects of the diverse tourism ecosystem in Alberta; ensuring that future opportunities are leveraged and issues affecting the industry are addressed.

Tourism's voice matters more than ever. And, TIAA’s voice as a proxy for the sectors that comprise the visitor economy matters more than ever. The single most important thing we can do at this time is ensure tourism operators are aware of TIAA so we can offer our support. In these challenging times, we cannot stress how important it is to work together, elevate our collective needs to decision makers, and join forces to reduce industry risks during our recovery.
