Product Development Program

The Banff Heritage Tourism Product Development program is designed for individuals, organizations and businesses seeking to create new heritage tourism opportunities for visitors to Banff National Park by helping those organizations fund new initiatives.

Under the program, new or unique projects and special events can receive matching funding to support communications, development, staging and hosting costs for initiatives that support the core objectives of Banff Heritage Tourism.

Each potential community partnership should:

· enrich the visitor experience by making them aware they are in Banff National Park and a World Heritage Site

· involve a product or services that is new, unique, sustainable, consistent with the heritage values of Banff National Park and reaches as many visitors as possible

· provide matching funds to a minimum of 50% of the total cost

· only request funds for start-up costs, such as research and development (funding is not for ongoing or operating costs)

· raise the profile of Banff Heritage Tourism within the community
