Did You Know? Tourism is a Big Deal in PEI!
Every year, 1.7 million visitors come to PEI to enjoy the beaches, eat world-famous seafood, and explore everything our Island has to offer. That adds up to $520 million in visitor spending—helping our communities thrive and creating meaningful employment for Islanders.
Tourism also generates $88 million in provincial sales taxes, which go toward things YOU and your family rely on, like:
- Recruiting doctors & improving healthcare
- Funding schools & education
- Better roads, parks, transit, and public spaces
The Tourism Job Fairs and Rural Hiring Day are funded by the Department of Workforce, Advanced Learning and Population through the Canada-PEI Labour Market Agreements.
