Marketing and Events Partnership Program

Tourism Saskatchewan’s Marketing and Events Partnership Program (MEPP) accepts applications from provincial tourism-focused businesses and organizations. MEPP provides opportunities to partner with Tourism Saskatchewan in the promotion of tourism products, services, attractions and events to audiences within and outside of the province.

Support is available to create or update digital assets, such as websites, e-commerce portals, as well as written, photographic and video content. Digital marketing campaigns, including social media and influencers, are eligible expenses. Traditional media advertising tactics (such as billboards, radio and print ads) that are part of a full marketing plan will also be considered. Marketplace Trade Show support is available to outfitters.

Exceptional applications from approved partners may receive up to $15,000 in support. Interested applicants are encouraged to email mepp@tourismsask.com. Note: please check the main program page to see if the program is currently open.
