History
The Ministry of Tourism was created in September, 2005 when the tourism function of the former Ministry of Tourism and Recreation was assigned to a new ministry responsible solely for this function.
Although the composition of the Ministry changed over the several years of its existence, certain key divisions existed. These included the Regional and Corporate Services Division, the Tourism Operations Division and the Tourism Policy and Development Division.
Agencies which reported to the Ministry included Niagara Parks Commission, the Ontario Place Corporation, the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation, the Ottawa Congress Centre, the St. Clair Parkway Commission, and the St. Lawrence Parks Commission.
The ministry ceased to exist on January 18, 2010 when the new Ministry of Tourism and Culture was formed.
