In 2017, Canadians welcomed a record of 20.8 million international visitors to our shores. The tourism industry is vibrant from coast to coast to coast, as one in 10 jobs in Canada is associated with the visitor economy. Investing in tourism in both big cities and small towns throughout Atlantic Canada is essential to growing this important economic sector for Canadians. By investing in our tourism sector, we attract new visitors, grow businesses and create new ones, generating economic growth.

“Making smart investments in Atlantic Canada’s tourism industry helps tourism operators develop and promote quality attractions that bring more visitors to our shores and create good middle-class jobs. Our government is pleased to invest in Rosewood Suites to help ensure they are equipped to offer visitors the products and experiences they seek, while adding to the vibrant and growing tourism industry in historical Trinity Bay.”

- The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development and Minister responsible for ACOA

“The Trinity Bay region is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Newfoundland and Labrador. The area draws visitors from all over the world because of its unique attractions, historic sites and natural beauty, as well as its top quality and hospitable accommodations. I am delighted that our government supported Rosewood Suites in its modernization project that will help attract more visitors to the area, boost the tourism industry and position the business for future sustainable growth.”
 
- Churence Rogers, Member of Parliament for Bonavista-Burin-Trinity

“Renovating this historic property and converting it to a high quality accommodation facility is a very desirable activity that warrants our support. This initiative aligns with The Way Forward’s Provincial Tourism Product Development Plan, to increase the quality of accommodation experiences, especially in areas where there is a cluster of existing attractions and activities. Trinity has a number of natural and cultural attractions that continue to draw thousands of visitors per year, and this support will help provide the level of quality the visitors demand, thereby increasing length of stay and increased spending in the region.”

- The Honourable Christopher Mitchelmore, Newfoundland and Labrador Minister of Tourism, Culture, Industry and Innovation

“Trinity is another great success story on the Bonavista Peninsula. The town offers the unique combination of historical and cultural attractions in one of the most beautiful regions of our Province. The investment in the Rosewood Suites announced today will serve a growing clientele of visitors and continue to build Trinity’s reputation as a world-class tourism destination.”

- Neil King, MHA for Carbonear-Trinity-Bay de Verde

“Trinity is a truly special place and this property in the heart of the historic area captured our imagination. We are delighted to have restored such a unique heritage structure and now we can share Rosewood Suites with visitors from around the world. We’ve had tremendous feedback from our guests who appreciate the quality of the restoration and how we retained the historical character but also provide modern conveniences and space to relax.”
