The Tourism Industry Association of Ontario (TIAO) is recognized by government as the voice of tourism.
At TIAO we work on behalf of our membership, collectively representing the majority of tourism businesses and employees across the province, to take on pressing policy issues that impact the Ontario tourism industry.
We advocate the importance of tourism as an economic driver and job creator in order to serve the interests of Ontario’s diverse tourism industry and business community.

Complimentary Webinars from TIAO
We're excited to introduce our special set of 5 webinars, as part of the Forward Motion series, which focuses on federal programs designed to support the creation of a resilient and vibrant workforce. We're proud to collaborate with Tourism HR Canada and bring together a panel of experts to discuss workforce development, immigration, labour market trends, and innovation.
Join us in our next session of the series, "Building a Team That Stays".
Participate in New Research Study
Alongside our colleagues at OTEC, TIAO is pleased to support an important research study that seeks to create a more equitable and inclusive workplace for the Tourism & Hospitality sector. Our partners at the Diversity Institute, Toronto Metropolitan University and Skills for Change are asking employers, managers and supervisors in the tourism and hospitality sector who have experience working with newcomers to participate in the research study called: “Identifying solutions towards aspired career pathways and quality of work in the hospitality sector”.
