The Tourism Digital Assistance Program will help eligible tourism businesses increase their visibility online and provide the services customers expect, like online booking.

Participants in the program benefit from:

  • Consultant services valued up to $5,000
  • Expert support in tactics including website design and development, search engine optimization, digital marketing, social media, online booking systems, audio and podcast services, photography and videography, and e-commerce tools

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Enhance your online marketing to reach more potential customers.

Complete the online application to outline how you would like to improve your online presence. Digital Nova Scotia will pair selected businesses with consultants who have expertise in the tactics you require. 

Priority will be given to small and medium sized tourism businesses whose primary focus is attracting and servicing visitors.

Applications are open and will be accepted until Wednesday, April 3, 2024 at 4:00 p.m.

 

If you are a municipality, chambers of commerce, regional tourism marketing organizations, or membership-based organizations with a focus on tourism, please consider applying for the Tourism Digital Assistance Program - Communities.
