Province announces new funding program for tourism businesses to extend season

A new funding program is available for Island tourism businesses to invest in ways that will help extend PEI’s tourism season.  The Tourism – Seasonal Extension Program will provide a grant for tourism operators that meet the eligibility requirements, with the minimum grant being $2,500 and the maximum being $50,000.  Funding will be given to operators who have not previously been open on a multi-season basis, or are introducing a new product that will be offered outside of their traditional peak operating season, or are expanding their business to extend their operating season.  The program will be administered through a partnership between Tourism PEI and the Community Business Development Corporations.
