2022 Tourism Week

Thank you all for your support during Tourism Week 2022!

This year, tourism operators across the province and nation celebrated the resilience of our industry. You can read more stories from Tourism Week 2022 here.

Check back for more details on next year's events and action in early 2023.

Tourism Week is a time to celebrate our industry’s contributions to the lives and livelihoods that are touched by the 25,546 tourism businesses in our province and is May 29 - June 4, 2022. TIAA is working with partners across Canada this week to discuss and promote the contributions tourism makes to the Canadian economy, and to our national identity.

We Need Your Help, Starting May 29th

TIAA is encouraging all tourism industry partners to engage in Tourism Week celebrations and to take the time to tell the story of the power of tourism across all regions of Alberta. The efforts of our entire industry have never mattered more than right now so, we ask you to join us and undertake purposeful discussions with your MLA and MP in the days ahead. To assist, please see the following resources that TIAA has developed to support you during Tourism Week, and beyond.

Resources

To support Alberta's tourism operators, destination marketing organizations, sector associations, and those who love to travel, TIAA has compiled resources to help make getting involved easy. Check out our:

Template Letter for Writing the Government

To help recover from the devastation that has hit tourism and hospitality, and ensure our industry is able to salvage some portion of this summer, we hope to build a chorus of industry colleagues to advocate to the government in solidarity, and ask you to join us by sending a letter to your provincial or federal representative (or both!). TIAA has created a template letter to save you time. Use the campaign resources above to help tell the story of our industry, and be sure to add how your organization has been impacted.

If you have any questions, please contact darren@tiaalberta.ca.

Tourism Week is a time of year to celebrate our industry’s contribution to the lives and livelihoods that are touched by the 25,546 tourism businesses in our province.

As your government has acknowledged, the tourism and hospitality sectors have been among the hardest hit from COVID-19. Impacted businesses, like ours, have struggled greatly to manage through more than a year of unpredictable, rolling health restrictions and border closures that have prevented high-yielding travellers from entering our province.

As we enter our most critical earnings time of the year, our business is grappling to plan in the absence of a clear and predictable roadmap to reopening the economy. Moreover, we have again been negatively impacted as a result of the most recent round of health restrictions and received no government recompense for the loss of our peak season earnings.

To help recover from the devastation that has hit tourism and hospitality, and to help ensure that our industry is able to salvage some portion of this summer, I am joining the chorus of industry colleagues to advocate that the Government of Alberta immediately:

expand the Small & Medium Enterprise Relaunch Grant (SMERG) to include a dedicated tourism and hospitality stream that provides total program supports of up to $40,000 to help mitigate the ongoing health and business restrictions that are impeding the summer earnings season; and,

introduce an Alberta travel tax credit or incentive program designed to encourage frequent, high-spending experiences within the province this summer.

Sincerely,

Active Information Collection

The public (unrestricted) areas of the site are not designed to actively collect information from visitors.

Passive Information Collection

As you navigate through a website, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection. PushPolitics Inc. uses IP addresses on this site to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and administer and improve the site.

A cookie is a bit of information that a website sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences. PushPolitics Inc. site uses session cookies, which are temporary bits of information used to improve website navigation and to collect aggregate statistical information. They are erased when you exit your Web browser window or turn your computer off.

PushPolitics Inc. site also uses navigational data (log files, server logs, and clickstream data) for system management, to improve the content of the site for market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.

PushPolitics Inc. does not share Personal Information obtained through cookies or other passive information collection with third parties.

Security

PushPolitics Inc. endeavors to maintain appropriate physical, procedural and technical security with respect to its offices and information storage facilities so as to protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

As part of those precautions, access to Personal Information is restricted to certain employees and external service providers that PushPolitics Inc. has determined need to possess this information, to ensure that PushPolitics Inc. may provide its products, services and information effectively. We use contracts and other measures with outside suppliers to maintain the confidentiality and security of your Personal Information and to prevent it from being used for any unauthorized purpose.

If any employee of PushPolitics Inc. misuses Personal Information, this will be considered a serious offence for which disciplinary action may be taken, up to and including termination of employment. If any individual or organization misuses Personal Information – provided for the purpose of providing services to or for PushPolitics Inc. – this will be considered a serious issue for which action may be taken, up to and including termination of any agreement between PushPolitics Inc. and that individual or organization.

In terms of communicating Personal Information to PushPolitics Inc., you may wish to note that there is no method of transmitting or storing data that is completely secure. While the physical characteristics of each are different, mail, telephone calls, faxes and transmissions over the Internet are all susceptible to possible loss, misrouting, interception and misuse of the information being communicated or transmitted.

PushPolitics Inc. attempts to strike a reasonable balance between security and convenience. In communicating with you, PushPolitics Inc. reserves the right to use a method of communication that is less secure than some of its less convenient alternatives. For example, we now send email as unencrypted plain text (as well as HMTL) because we believe that many of our clients, service providers and other third parties cannot readily process encrypted email. Thus, although this is done for your convenience, the security concern exists that, if misrouted or intercepted, unencrypted plain text could be read more easily than encrypted email.

This site may contain links or references to other websites. Please be aware that PushPolitics Inc. does not control other websites and that this Privacy Policy does not apply to those websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
