Background

Prior to the completion of the Integrated Tourism Master Plan (ITMP), projects were being related to Halifax’s tourism sector without a consistent assessment of the benefits to the visitor economy. Through the development of the ITMP, an Investment Filter has been created as a tool to assist in assessing the strategic impacts of tourism projects. The tool can be used by both proponents and potential investors. Upon the completion of recommendation 25 to evolve Discover Halifax into a Destination Management Organization, the organization will have the capacity to leverage the Investment Filter tool further through its expanded expertise and provide an analysis on the economic impact, and strategic alignment of new and proposed initiatives.
