The Canadian Tourism Commission (Destination Canada) is Canada’s national tourism marketing organization.

Its mandate is to sustain a vibrant and profitable Canadian tourism industry; market Canada as a desirable tourism destination; support a cooperative relationship between the private sector and the governments of Canada, the provinces and the territories with respect to Canadian tourism; and provide information about Canadian tourism to the private sector and to the governments of Canada, the provinces and the territories. As tourism is a fast-growing sector that employs nearly two million Canadians, Destination Canada has an important role to play in harnessing the full economic potential of this key sector of our economy by growing tourism export revenue for Canada, supporting the creation of jobs and increasing Canada’s global competitiveness within the travel and tourism sector. It is responsible for marketing Canada as a premier four-season tourism destination where travellers can enjoy extraordinary experiences. Working in collaboration with the Canadian tourism industry and the provinces and the territories, Destination Canada serves as a consistent voice for Canada in the international tourism marketplace. It also harnesses the power of collective intelligence by sharing tourism data and actionable insights to improve decision-making across and beyond the tourism ecosystem.

Reporting to the Board of Directors, the President is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the organization, managing its day-to-day operations and providing advice to the Chair and Board of Directors on carrying out their responsibilities under the _Canadian Tourism Commission Act_, the _Financial Administration Act_ and other relevant legislation. The President also leads tourism marketing partnerships, particularly with provincial and territorial governments and the private and not-for-profit sectors, to execute innovative Canadian marketing campaigns and to ensure the necessary strategies are in place to help maximize the economic benefits generated by the tourism industry.
