Alberta Zoo's New Habitat, Tourism Boosts
Description
Travel Alberta invests $8M in tourism projects, with a significant portion going to the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo for their new Sichuan takin habitat in the Asian Highlands. This is the first phase of the multi-year Imagine Asia redevelopment, set to open in July 2026, featuring Bactrian camels, Komodo dragons, Amur tigers, gibbons, tapirs, and more. The project prioritizes animal welfare, while Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas highlights its economic impact on southern Alberta tourism. Other funded projects include a wild river ride, glamping near Jasper, and upgrades at Blackfoot Crossing and distilleries, all during National Tourism Week.
