Fund Type
According to the Government, the Tourism and Hospitality Recovery Program is intended to provide support to eligible organizations in the tourism and hospitality industry, such as hotels, restaurants, bars, festivals, travel agencies, tour operators, convention centers, and convention and trade show organizers, that have been deeply impacted since the outset of the pandemic and that are still struggling.
Support would be targeted to organizations in selected sectors of the tourism and hospitality industry that have been deeply affected since the outset of the pandemic and that continue to struggle.
Examples of eligible organizations in the tourism and hospitality industry include hotels, restaurants, bars, festivals, travel agencies, tour operators, convention centres, convention and trade show organizers, and others.
Subsidy Rate Structure
Under this program, the maximum subsidy rate for the wage and rent subsidies would be set at 75 percent from October 24, 2021 to March 12, 2022 (claim periods 22 to 26).
The wage and rent subsidy rates would continue to be calculated based on current-month revenue losses compared to those of a prior reference period, as under existing rules. The subsidy rates would start at 40 percent for eligible organizations with a 40-per-cent current-month revenue decline, increasing thereafter in proportion to current-month revenue loss up to a maximum rate of 75 percent for those with a current-month revenue decline of 75 percent or higher.
The rent and subsidy rates would be reduced by half from March 13 to May 7, 2022 (claim periods 27 and 28).
Lockdown Support would be available at the current fixed rate of 25 percent and pro-rated based on the number of days a particular location was affected by a lockdown, as under existing rules.
