Prince Edward Island is celebrating after recording a big year for tourism, setting new annual records for visitation and economic impact on the island. The 2024 tourism year saw the island welcome 1.7-million visitors and generate 520-million dollars in spending on the local economy.
Prince Edward Island’s tourism industry accounts for approximately 6 per cent of the province’s gross domestic product – three times the national average – and supports 8,900 full-time equivalent jobs annually in communities across the province. Looking ahead to 2025, the Government of Prince Edward Island and industry partners will continue to innovate and drive strategic growth in alignment with the all-of-industry five-year tourism strategy.
