NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR’S produces 12% of Canada’s conventional light crude from four offshore production facilities: Hibernia, Terra Nova, White Rose, and Hebron. Business investment forecasts are optimimistic as many companies are moving forward with their projects. Construction is wrapping up at the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project, and real business investment looks bright. New investments in the expansion of the Voisey’s Bay Mine in Labrador and increasing production at the Hebron offshore oil field will help the provincial economy grow this year. Because of the increase in oil production, real GDP growth is projected to finish 2025 at 2.1%.

The lodging market has shown strong recovery from the pandemic, supported by demand from Immigration Canada government contracts. Occupancy is projected to fall slightly in 2025 and gradually increase by 2028 as the market absorbs a small amount of new supply. Between 2025 and 2028, 158 rooms are expected to enter the market.

The Newfoundland and Labrador market experienced a decline in per-room value from 2014 to 2019. This market is very dependent on natural resources and follows the same demand trends as Western Canadian provinces that are oil dependent. The ADR is growing slowly, and occupancy is holding steady as tourism in Newfoundland is on the rise.

The per-room value is now projected to continue trending upward, reaching $139,200 in 2025 and $168,300 in 2028. The HVI is projected to reflect this positive trend, rising steadily from 1.41 in 2025 to 1.71 in 2028. The province is expected to be in eighteenth position in 2028.
