Prince Edward Island is an attractive tourist destination for family vacations and for adult couples seeking rest and relaxation. Since its construction, the Confederation Bridge—the world’s longest bridge over ice-covered waters—has also lured many new visitors to the Island.

Between May 14, 1997, and October 31, 1997, an estimated 1,189,000 pleasure and 49,3000 business visitors came to Prince Edward Island. These figures represent almost ten times the residential population! Visitors to the Island come primarily from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Quebec, Ontario, and the New England states (U.S.A.). The province is also endeavouring to promote the Island as a tourist destination to residents of other areas in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
