The Inn at Bay Fortune, a top culinary destination resort in Prince Edward Island, will receive a repayable contribution of $220,000 from the Government of Canada’s Tourism Growth Program (TGP). This investment will support the creation of a new 3,300 square foot event space, which will also function as a fully operational greenhouse. The greenhouse will provide fresh, sustainable produce year-round, offering an innovative tourism experience integrated into the Inn’s farm-to-table gastronomy. Additionally, improvements to existing heritage buildings will enhance guest accommodations to match the high standards of the Inn’s culinary experiences.
This investment underscores the Government of Canada’s commitment to diversifying regional economies by investing in tourism products and experiences that encourage visitation to and within Canada. The Inn at Bay Fortune is a prime example of how tourism can drive economic development and diversification in Atlantic Canada. Since its opening in 2015, the Inn has attracted worldwide attention and visitors, boosting the local economy and creating jobs.
The new event space and accommodation upgrades will further enhance The Inn at Bay Fortune’s reputation for excellence in hospitality. The event space will provide a unique and memorable venue for weddings, corporate events, and other special occasions. The modernized accommodation suites will offer guests a luxurious and comfortable stay, ensuring that they have a truly unforgettable experience at The Inn at Bay Fortune.
