“How to Open and Operate a Bed & Breakfast on PEI” Free Workshop

The Island Walk, a 700 km route that goes around PEI, is creating new opportunities for accommodation operators and revealing a need for additional accommodations throughout PEI.  

The Island Walk is a non-profit organization established to develop, manage, and market the Island Walk.  With the view to increase the number of bed and breakfast accommodations available along the Island Walk route, it is supporting “How to Open and Operate a Bed & Breakfast on PEI,” a workshop to assist individuals who might be interested in opening a B&B.

The free, full day session will be held at the Old Schoolhouse in Victoria-by-the-Sea, 730 Victoria Road, on November 27 from 8:30 am–3 pm.  The workshop includes basic information on opening and operating a bed & breakfast with presentations by representatives from Tourism PEI (registration and quality assurance), PEI Mutual Insurance and Holland College Culinary Institute. Snacks and lunch will be provided. Participation is free but advance registration is requested by November 21.

All communities along the route could benefit from additional accommodations but in particular areas around Waypoints, Dunedin, Borden-Carleton, Wellington, McNeills Mills, Miminegash, Portage, Northam, Howe Bay, Gasperaux, Surrey, and Lake Verde.
