People working in tourism say that this autumn is better than they expected in Canada’s Prince Edward Island, but there are challenges to overcome, a report said.
The main issue is the ongoing shortage of workers, according to The Tourism Industry Association of P.E.I.

Cottage operators are experiencing solid bookings through the fall season, while motorcoach travel is getting back to normal.

TIAPEI claims that, even though the pandemic is challenging, the company is pleased with its fall season visitors and plans to develop events that will attract more winter visitors.
