Founded in 1931, the Tourism Industry Association of Canada members include transportation companies, airport authorities, regional and Provincial destination authorities, hotels, convention centres, attractions and tour operators.

Since 2010, the Tourism Industry Association of Canada has been assisting the Canadian government manage the Approved Destination Status agreement through its Canada-China Inbound Tour Operator Registration program (TIAC’s ADS program). Approved Destination Status is a bilateral tourism agreement between the Canadian and Chinese Governments which allows Chinese citizens to undertake leisure travel in organized groups to Canada.
