Advocacy Priorities
Workforce
As global travel surges, our sector faces a critical workforce shortage, with hundreds of thousands of vacancies. To meet demand, we advocate for policies that will increase access to both domestic and international workers.
Learn MoreHousing
Unchecked short-term rental growth in Canada’s biggest cities is a major contributor to the housing crisis. We advocate for measures to return these units to the housing market for all Canadians.
Learn MoreGlobal Competitiveness
Despite the resurgence in global travel, Canada is losing ground as a destination of choice for international travellers. We advocate to boost Canada’s international competitiveness.
