Visit The County Connect

Summer in The County is our busiest season. Translation? A little pre-trip planning = a much smoother visit 🌊✨⁠
⁠
To help local businesses and operators keep things running smoothly, we’ve officially launched our new Summer Hub! Think of this as the ultimate digital playbook for your hospitality, retail, and service teams this season.⁠
⁠
What’s inside the Hub:⁠
🗺️ Visitor information tips, transportation & public washroom locations⁠
🏖️ Essential visitor FAQs (like what to do when Sandbanks hits capacity)⁠
🛶 "How County locals do it" insider guides, water safety, and off-the-beaten-path experiences⁠
⁠
Bonus Prep: Want to know exactly what's new for the season? We’ve also made the slide deck from our late-April Season Launch Webinar available. It features direct operator updates regarding new businesses, transit changes, and fresh outdoor experiences to keep on your radar.⁠
⁠
Give your staff the ultimate insider knowledge for the busy months ahead!⁠

County operators! Do you have something to share with the industry? News or updates about your business? Cool & exciting things coming down the pipeline? We want to know about it! 🌟

Accessibility isn’t just a checklist: it’s an invitation.

This National AccessAbility Week (May 25–31), we’re celebrating the steps our Prince Edward County tourism and business community can take (or continue!) to ensure everyone can enjoy The County. Together we’re building a destination where barriers don't stand in the way of a great memory.

💡 Operators: This week, take 10 minutes to update your business listing with any accessibility info it's missing, so that folks know what to experience at your space. A little clarity goes a long way for those visiting for the first tiime, returning, or living right in our own backyard!

And did you know there's an Accessibility Advisory Committee at the municipality? They're here to help local businesses thrive, can answer questions or review your project plans from an accessible lens, and there's tons of education we can all benefit from. If you want to get in touch, email The County's Clerk's Office at [email protected].

We'll share some specific resources on our social media stories throughout this week, so stay tuned!
