The purpose of the resource-based tourism policy is to promote and encourage the development of the Ontario resource-based tourism industry in both an ecologically and economically sustainable manner. This policy directs how the Ontario government recognizes the importance of the resource-based tourism industry in Ontario and offers individual tourist operators the potential to improve their business opportunities in terms of tenure, allocation of resources, and the responsibilities they undertake for the use and stewardship of the resources. It directs how the Ministry of Natural Resources allocates resources to the tourism industry through its land use planning system, establish and test a process to resolve disputes about allocations, management of areas, and other natural resource matters; and, ensures that ongoing forest management planning has regard for this policy.
This policy is the responsibility of the Ministry of Tourism.
