The Manitoba government announced yesterday it is investing $8 million for the creation of a new Hospitality Relief Sector Program to provide financial relief to Manitoba’s accommodation and tourism sector.
The new Hospitality Relief Sector Program, to be administered by the Manitoba Hotel Association and the Manitoba Lodges and Outfitters Association, will provide funding to hotels and full-time licenced resource tourism operators for fixed costs that have not been covered by other relief programs such as:
- property insurance,
- mortgage interest,
- property taxes,
- land leases,
- service fees,
- maintenance of camps, and
- resource retention costs.
Grants will be provided as a reimbursement for a percentage of eligible expenses incurred. More information on the Hospitality Relief Sector Program and how to apply will be available for eligible applicants shortly.
