Great news for Kitchener and Waterloo Region, nearly 5 million visitors came in 2024, generating over $829 million in revenue and showing our community is a key travel destination.
This success reflects the strength of our arts, culture, festivals, and local attractions that make our riding unique and vibrant.
Tourism supports local businesses, creates jobs, and brings new energy to our streets and I’m proud of the role our community plays in Ontario’s visitor economy.
