HAC Submits 2025 Fall Federal Budget Priorities

- Enhancing international competitiveness to attract more visitors and investment.
- Creating a competitive tax and investment environment that encourages growth and strengthens our industry’s global position.
- Addressing workforce challenges in rural and remote communities to ensure hotels can meet demand and deliver high-quality service nationwide.
These targeted measures are essential to sustaining recovery, supporting economic growth, and securing the long-term resilience of Canada’s hotel industry.
