From 1996 to 1998, the policy and planning functions were overseen by the Business Planning and Resources Management Branch (Corporate Resources and Agency Relations Division).

In 1999, the Ministry became simply the Ministry of Tourism. From 1999 to 2000, the Tourism Policy and Research Branch operated under the Tourism Division.

From 2001 to 2005, the Ministry was re-organized twice: 2001-2002 - Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Recreation; 2002-2005, Ministry of Tourism and Recreation.
