Prince Edward Island is known around the world for our ‘Islander’ hospitality; tourism is a part of our Island way of life.
Our tourism industry is on life support as 1 in 10 Islanders work in the tourism sector. These Islanders are your friends, neighbours, and family members employed by tourism businesses, and they need your help.
Before COVID-19 hit, Prince Edward Island’s tourism industry saw years of steady growth, and businesses were getting ready for a record year. The Island was set to welcome more visitors, employ more Islanders and generate more tax revenue than ever.
The tourism industry was the first to close and will be the last to recover.
The tourism industry impacts the livelihood of our province.
The tourism industry impacts our healthcare and education, as well as transportation and infrastructure.
An investment in the Island’s tourism industry is a direct investment in Islanders.
We need you to support our local tourism businesses to the best of your ability.
We need you to encourage elected officials to support our local tourism industry so it can survive and continue to contribute to our provinces economy.
