QUESTIONS
WHY SHOULD I USE YOUR DESTINATION MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION?
As a DMO, we possess unparalleled knowledge of our communities, staying updated on the latest
developments, upcoming attractions, and key contacts. This expertise is invaluable, especially for planners
unfamiliar with the area. DMOs excel in venue support, hand-selecting partners that match event criteria, and
streamlining the selection process, thus saving planners significant research time.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO MEET IN PEI?
For best availability in accommodations and meetings space, we recommend meeting during PEI's shoulder
season - October through May.
ARE YOU ABLE TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DINING,
ACTIVITIES, AND DELEGATE GIFTING?
Absolutely! Upon booking your business event on PEI, we will provide you with a supplementary services
package to get you started on additional services. Our business development team is always happy to discuss
any recommendations you may need for your event.
