Purpose

The program is intended to support capital investments that will help tourism businesses remain open on a multi-season basis and drive economic activity across PEI in historically lower demand periods.

The purpose of the program is to provide tourism businesses with a non-repayable financial contribution (grant) toward eligible capital expenses to assist with seasonal extension.
