The Tourism Investment Dragons Marketplace event is
NOW OPEN and is requesting your tourism-related investment opportunities.
Dear Members,
EDCO, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Gaming is pleased to partner on the “Meet the Tourism Investment Dragons” marketplace to be held on November 28, 2024, in Toronto.
The Dragons event is an opportunity for senior economic development officials from across Ontario to present market-ready, tourism-related investment land sites and business opportunities to interested developers, investors, and influencers in a speed dating format.
To help identify suitable investors, municipalities and government agencies must submit a summary of their investment cases in advance that identify land sites and business plans for new hotel development, retail, attractions, and mixed-use developments.
The investors will be interested in seeing tourism-related commercial and mixed-use projects that could be developed on government or municipal land sites such as waterfront property, parking lots, agricultural and recreational land, parklands, vacant buildings, or historical assets in need of new investment. Some private sector properties zoned for commercial tourism or mixed-use may be considered.
Given the high demand and limited scheduling capacity for the event, it is crucial to ensure that your investment cases are robust, comprehensive, and compelling. We’ve attached a refined template that incorporates the below listed criteria for evaluation, enhancing the likelihood of selection.
· Project Overview
· Site Description
· Investment Opportunity
· Strategic Advantages
· Community and Tourism Profile
· Incentives and Support
· Timelines
· Contact Information
· Attachments
Time with the investors is limited. Each municipality or agency can submit a maximum of two investment cases. Submitting your investment cases does not guarantee participation in the event. Only those submissions that demonstrate the best opportunities for success will be considered.
Please complete the attached investment opportunities template and send your investment opportunities to ido.ont@ontario.ca
If you wish to add graphics to your submission, please limit them to two per investment opportunity.
Submission deadline is July 30, 2024, 5:00 p.m. EDT.
All opportunities will be reviewed and assessed, and you will be contacted in August 2024.
If selected to participate, a fee of approximately $50 per person is required to cover lunch and administrative services. Additional information about the Dragons event will be released in September 2024.
