      History

      The Tourism Halifax Committee was responsible for operating the Halifax Visitors and Convention Bureau and, in general, promoting tourism in the City. It studied issues and made recommendations to Council on matters relating to tourism, acting as an information resource to tourism staff, and cooperating with businesses and other agencies concerned with tourism.

      In 1996 Tourism Halifax became part of the Halifax Regional Municipality's Tourism, Culture & Heritage Department. In April 2002 that function merged with the Greater Halifax Conventions & Meetings Bureau to become Destination Halifax, the dedicated tourism marketing organization of the Halifax Regional Municipality.
