The objects of Tourism Nova Scotia are to achieve tourism growth in the province and maximize the value of tourism to the economy; develop a long-term tourism strategy; and communicate and collaborate with communities, private industry and the tourism industry in the province. The minister of business assumed responsibility for the Tourism Nova Scotia Act.
