Support for Large Tourism Operators

Three Nova Scotia tourism operators that serve as anchors for the sector will be able to access lower-cost financing through the Tourism Sector Financing Assistance Program.
Ambassatours Gray Line and Murphy’s on the Water, Cabot Links and Coach Atlantic have signed on to the program, announced in October 2020 to help rebuild one of the sectors hardest hit by the COVID-19 global pandemic.
The program provides a standby letter of credit that operators use to secure loans. Up to almost $35 million in borrowing has been approved for these operators through their financial institutions.
