The Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC) is a national, not-for-profit organization that represents the full spectrum of Canada’s tourism sector. It serves a diverse membership including air and rail services, airports, destination authorities, hotels, attractions and tour operators, aiming to promote policies and programs that support growth and development in the visitor economy. Based in Ottawa, TIAC connects major national and regional industry players with thousands of affiliates and a broad workforce whose jobs depend on tourism, providing a platform for advocacy and industry-wide collaboration. Founded in 1930, the association positions itself as the national voice for Canadian tourism, coordinating efforts across sectors to address shared challenges and opportunities. In recent years TIAC has pursued partnerships and programs—such as an associate program with the Culinary Tourism Alliance and cooperative initiatives with Parks Canada—to strengthen coordination within the industry and advance tourism interests at the national level.
