World Famous Food
When touring Prince Edward Island, you'll see miles of lush rolling farmlands and coastlines dotted with
fishing harbours, so it may not come as a surprise to discover
that the food industry is the single most important contributor to our provincial economy. PEI is proud of its "clean
and green" reputation world-wide and offers tourists a wonderful opportunity to "tour and taste" some of the best we
have to offer.
