Funding for tourism businesses for new products

A new funding program is available to inspire tourism businesses to think of new ideas that showcase Prince Edward Island as a year-round destination.

The Multi-Season Tourism Product Development Fund provides support to tourism businesses to create and develop new products outside of what they currently offer to help grow the province into a multi-season tourism destination.

The maximum grant per operator is $7,500 and will be administered through a partnership between Tourism PEI and the Regional Tourism Associations (RTAs) and Destination Management Organizations (DMOs), including:

Central Coastal Tourism Partnership
Discover Charlottetown
Explore Summerside
Island East Tourism Group
North Cape Coastal Tourism Partnership
Tourism Cavendish Beach

“Growing Prince Edward Island into a multi-season destination is a top initiative from the industry’s strategy. It challenges us to do things a bit differently, to dream big, and consider all the possibilities of what tourism on the Island could be.”

- Economic Growth, Tourism and Culture Minister Bloyce Thompson

Applications will be accepted beginning Monday, January 30. Applicants must submit their applications to their respective RTA/DMO. To learn more about the program, visit: Multi-Season Tourism Product Development Fund.
