Ten Chaudière-Appalaches tourism organizations receive a total of over $1.8M in financial assistance from CED.
A key driver of the economy, the Canadian tourism industry generated more than $100 billion in annual revenues before being hit hard by the pandemic. That is why the Government of Canada launched the Tourism Relief Fund (TRF), a $500M pan‑Canadian initiative to help businesses and organizations in this sector overcome the impacts of the pandemic and position themselves for the future. The initiative, administered by CED in Quebec, ended on March 31, 2023.
Today, the Honourable Pascale St‑Onge, Minister of Sport and Minister responsible for CED, is announcing a total of $1,848,194 in financial contributions for 10 Chaudière-Appalaches tourism organizations that have received CED support under the TRF: La Corporation du Quartier de la débâcle de Beauceville, Destination Beauce, Corporation d'aménagement et de développement du Massif du Sud, the Municipalité de Sainte-Clotilde-de-Beauce, Restaurant Motel au Parasol, Sentiers pédestres des 3 Monts de Coleraine, Ferme forestière du pin croche, Dômes Bellechasse, Le Verger à Ti‑Paul, and Complexe hôtelier La cache du Domaine. This announcement follows a series of strategic investments made by CED under this initiative; Minister St‑Onge unveiled a report on the TRF on June 28, 2023.
