WINNIPEG – Manitoba’s Progressive Conservatives are promising to spend more money to promote tourism if they form the next provincial government.

Leader Brian Pallister says his party would spend $28 million over five years to better market Manitoba.

Pallister says Manitoba lags behind Saskatchewan, which spends just over $7 million a year on tourism investment.

He couldn’t say exactly what the money would be spent on or who a campaign would target.

Pallister says he would consult with the industry to come up with a strategy.

Manitoba voters cast their ballots on April 19.
