Atlantic Canada Agreement on Tourism

The Atlantic Canada Agreement on Tourism (ACAT) is a unique and successful marketing initiative that brings together the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), the four provincial tourism industry associations and the provincial departments responsible for tourism in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

ACAT’s mission is clear – to grow tourism in Atlantic Canada.

ACAT utilizes a research-based approach to focus its marketing efforts in the United States, United Kingdom and Germany. The 2023-2028 Atlantic Canada Agreement on Tourism is a $30 million federal-provincial-industry partnership that will see the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency invest $18 million, and the four Atlantic provinces invest $12 million collectively, over the next four-and-a-half-years.
