Support program for the development of tourist attractions (PADAT) - Component 2: Financing fund for hotel establishments

Towards responsible and sustainable tourism

The tourism industry is directly concerned by environmental and climatic issues, and customers are increasingly sensitive to them. The collective awareness that the pandemic imposes must be seen as an opportunity to think about the future differently and to accelerate the implementation of sustainable practices in tourism businesses in Quebec.

In order to ensure a prosperous future for its businesses and for future generations, the Ministère du Tourisme is committed to making Québec a leader in responsible and sustainable tourism. The measures it intends to implement are gathered in the Action Plan for responsible and sustainable tourism . The 2021-2025 Tourism Intervention Framework: Acting Today. Transformer Tomorrow will support projects and initiatives in line with the objectives pursued by this action plan.
