Travel Alberta

Travel Alberta is the destination management organization of the Government of Alberta. Established as a Crown corporation on April 1, 2009, they operate under the authority of the Travel Alberta Act within the Ministry of Jobs, Economy and Innovation. Travel Alberta drives the growth of the province’s visitor economy, creating and promoting must-visit destinations throughout the province. We do this by helping businesses develop memorable products and experiences, marketing those products and experiences to the world, and ensuring visitors have access to them.

They manage the Alberta Tourism Information Site (ATIS). ATIS supports three different content types that partners can use to accurately communicate the types of experiences that they offer:

• Business listings
• Events
• Special Offers

We would recommend all businesses ensure they have an ATIS listing and use the events calendar to promote their events.

Travel Alberta also offers various investment streams which businesses can apply to. Find out more here.
