Your real odds
There is no applicant cap, but you are limited to one approved program per year, so choose which program you submit for carefully.
Eligibility is straightforward if you are attending a Best Practice Mission or GMIST course, since the subsidy covers a defined list of pre-approved programs and each application is reviewed individually before you attend.
What it takes
Identify an eligible program (e.g., Best Practice Mission or GMIST course) you plan to attend1–2 hours
Submit a request for funding application to TourismPD@gov.nl.ca before attending1–2 hours
Attend the program and submit an expense claim with receipts within 30 days of travel1 hour
Worth knowing
You must have approval in hand before the program starts, because submitting afterward disqualifies you automatically, and if the program qualifies for federal co-funding through Tourism Atlantic, your total subsidy can reach 75% with the provincial portion capped at 25%.
