  • Tourism, Parks and Recreation
    Tourism, Parks and Recreation SUMMARY DEPARTMENT There are no new or outstanding recommendations to the Department of Tourism, Parks and Recreation in this report. TRAVEL ALBERTA CEO Travel, Hosting, and Hospitality Expenses Background Travel Alberta is the tourism marketing agency of the Government of Alberta and the nature of its business requires employees to attend various meetings and events in the province and abroad to advance the strategies of the organization. Travel Alberta employees interact with businesses, representatives from other governments, as well as domestic and international organizations involved in tourism-related endeavors. Travel Alberta is funded through a levy that is assessed on hotel bookings in the province. In March 2014 the Minister of Tourism, Parks, and Recreation was questioned in the Legislative Assembly about the appropriateness of expenses incurred by Travel Alberta’s CEO. On March 23, 2014 we were asked by an MLA to investigate various CEO expenses. The expenses raised as questionable included an $8,800 trip to Singapore, $828 for a dinner at a Banff restaurant and a $157 tuxedo rental to attend a black tie event, among others. Afterwards, the Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation requested that Travel Alberta engage an independent party to investigate travel, meal and hospitality expenses from September 20, 2012 onward. This review was completed and the results were provided to Travel Alberta in April 2014. The results of the review did not identify any significant matters or misuse of expenses. Travel Alberta updated its travel and hospitality expense policy (effective June 2014) to better conform with the Government of Alberta policy, while retaining the ability to carry out its activities, which includes marketing and promoting Alberta as a tourist destination.

  • Alberta's Tourism Strategy
    Alberta’s Tourism Framework: 2013-2020 ALBERTA’S TOURISM FRAMEWORK: 2013-2020 Prepared by: Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation and Travel Alberta October 2013 Alberta Tourism, Parks & Recreation Travel Alberta Alberta’s Tourism Framework: 2013-2020 Message from Minister of Alberta, Tourism, Parks and Recreation As Albertans know, and visitors quickly realize, Alberta is one of the most breathtaking places on earth. Our province is as vast as it is varied in landscape and experiences. We are a four-season destination with so much to offer; the iconic Canadian Rocky Mountains, the alluring Canadian Badlands, peaceful prairies, placid lakes, a diverse cultural history and vibrant urban and rural centres. Tourism plays a vital role in showcasing our province to the world and provides those of us fortunate enough to live here with memorable experiences to share with friends and family. Our tourism industry also has great potential to diversify Alberta’s economy, which is why growing our tourism industry by 32 per cent – from $7.8 billion to $10.3 billion – by 2020 is key to building Alberta. Alberta’s tourism industry is complex, with many organizations in both the public and private sector involved. To grow the industry and maximize the opportunities tourism creates in every region of the province, we need a common vision, goal, and priorities to guide us. We need a plan. The Alberta Tourism Framework is about trading industry competition for collaboration – unifying and focusing our efforts to meet the needs of travellers from Alberta, Canada and around the world. Thank you to everyone who contributed to developing the Alberta Tourism Framework.
