This is Tourism Week here in PEI and across Canada.
PEI has seen record tourism visitation and overnight stays in each of the last four years.
Tourism Minister Chris Palmer says it’s a chance to examine how government and industry can work together, and he points to Vision 2021, the Island’s new five-year tourism strategy, as an example. The province says that strategy has seen industry and government join together to develop new soft adventure, indigenous, culinary, and experiential products; as well as strategies to encourage Islanders to vacation at home.
