    History

    The Tourism Policy Branch was created in 1990 when the Tourism Development Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation was renamed. In 1993, the Tourism Policy Branch was transferred to the new Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation. In 1995, it was moved to the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism. By 1996 it was known as the Tourism Policy and Research Branch.

    In 2002, it was renamed the Tourism Branch in the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Recreation. It retained that name in the Ministry of Tourism Culture, and Recreation in 2003. When the new Ministry of Tourism was formed in 2005, it reverted to the earlier name of Tourism Policy and Research Branch, the name which it retains as of 2017.
