Here's what the 2025 Newfoundland & Labrador election parties are promising.

Liberal
  • Expand eligibility for the Department of Industry, Energy, and Technology's Regional Development Fund to allow applications from tourism businesses

    "A re-elected Liberal Government will expand the eligibility for the Department of Industry, Energy and Technology’s Regional Development Fund to allow applications from tourism businesses, thereby increasing access to critical financial support." — Our Plan for Newfoundland and Labrador, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Provide free advertising for tourism businesses on provincial websites and highway signs

PC
  • Work with tourism partners on a new strategy for tourism, focused on real, local experiences, better infrastructure, and encouraging people to "vacation at home"

    "Plan for the future beyond 2026 by working quickly with tourism partners on a new strategy to replace the soon-to-expire 5-year plan. This new plan will focus on real, local experiences, better infrastructure, and encouraging people to “vacation at home.”" — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Ensure year-round flights to Europe, and expand regional and national connections

    "Ensure reliable air access with year-round flights to Europe and expanding regional and national connections." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Reduce the cost of air travel to, from, and within Labrador

    "Reduce the cost of air travel to, from, and within Labrador. The Liberals’ initial air travel plan ignored Labrador, their much-too-late “pilot” project failed to lower the cost of travel for all Labradorians. We will push for federal funding to upgrade Labrador airstrips." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Work with Hospitality NL to improve online booking and e-commerce tools for tourism businesses

    "Simplify how tourism businesses register, list, and promote their services online. We will work with Hospitality NL to improve online booking and e-commerce tools." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Show 2 more promises...
  • Do an annual visitor survey and make the results public

    "Carry out an annual visitor survey and make the results public so tourism providers can tar- get their offerings to the needs of visitors." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Help the Heart's Content Transatlantic Cable Station become a UNESCO World Heritage Site

    "Help the Heart’s Content Transatlantic Cable Station become a UNESCO World Heritage Site, drawing visitors from around the world and promoting rural Newfoundland and Labrador." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08
