Program Supporting the Development of Tourist Attractions — Stream 2

Developing or enhancing a major tourist attraction often requires substantial upfront investment, especially for projects meant to draw visitors year after year. In Quebec, businesses and organizations planning large-scale tourism projects can access meaningful financing through the Program Supporting the Development of Tourist Attractions — Stream 2. Delivered by the Gouvernement du Québec in collaboration with Investissement Québec, this stream is aimed at initiatives with strong economic potential that can strengthen a region’s tourism appeal over the medium to long term.

This program is designed for ambitious projects, with repayable funding that can reach into the millions, helping cover a significant share of eligible development costs. It can support for-profit businesses as well as non-profit organizations, cooperatives, community groups, and Indigenous nations, with enhanced support available in certain contexts such as community-led projects or developments in regions like the Îles-de-la-Madeleine. While the funding is repayable, the terms are structured to make large tourism investments more achievable, particularly for projects expected to demonstrate sustainable profitability over time.

Stream 2 is well suited for organizations planning new attractions, major expansions, or transformative upgrades that can boost visitor numbers and regional economic impact. For Quebec-based project leaders considering a substantial tourism investment, exploring the full details of this program can help clarify whether it aligns with their financial strategy and development goals.
