As an organization, everything we do is focused on growing a healthy, vibrant tourism industry in Nova Scotia. We work alongside Nova Scotia’s tourism owners and operators to ensure they’ve got the tools, resources, and connections they need to grow their business, increase visitor numbers, and contribute to a strong and profitable hospitality sector. Our advocacy roster, training and programs, networking events, and strategic alliances make up a dynamic foundation for tourism in Nova Scotia.

TIANS advocates on behalf of transportation entities, environmental initiatives, human resource organizations, and more at provincial and national levels.
