A bold path forward for year-round resort development

Alberta now has a transparent and coordinated process in place to enable year-round amenities and recreational opportunities on public land. Our Investor Concierge provides a consolidated starting point for proponents interested in exploring all-season resort opportunities.

Contact the Investor Concierge with your all-season resorts development questions.

The all-season resort opportunity 

Alberta is home to incredible surroundings and has a growing global reputation for world-class outdoor adventures—but it doesn’t yet have enough fully integrated, year-round resorts to meet demand.

The potential is enormous: all-season destinations with accommodations and amenities can drive sustainable revenue, attract skilled labour, and position Alberta as a premier choice for residents and travellers seeking longer stays and richer experiences.

Designated All-Season Resort Areas

The Government of Alberta has carefully identified its first All-Season Resort Areas. This is the initial, key step in developing new resorts. Now, applications can be made to create or develop resorts in these beautiful spots in Alberta.
