PADAT — Tourist Attraction Development Support Program (Programme d'appui au développement des attraits touristiques)

PADAT is Investissement Québec's tourism development financing line for Quebec. It supports tourism enterprises through two tracks: Volet 1 backs tourism attraction development and business takeover or succession in the tourism sector, while Volet 2 covers hotel park improvements, accommodation upgrades, and hospitality business acquisitions. The program appears to run continuously rather than through a fixed annual call. The page does not publish financing amounts, but the public contact route is direct and practical, using an online form or phone support. Eligibility is centered on tourism businesses and hospitality assets in Quebec, with French-language documentation on the public page. The strongest fit is an operator with a tangible physical project: a new attraction, an upgrade to rooms or facilities, or a succession transaction tied to tourism operations. Because the program spans both development and takeover scenarios, it suits firms that can show a clear asset base, a concrete use of capital, and a tourism case that justifies the financing request. It is a niche route, but a useful one for Quebec hospitality owners who need sector-specific capital rather than generic business support.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
