Today is Global Meetings Industry Day, and we’re proud to celebrate with our incredible partners Meet PEI, our amazing suppliers, and clients who trust VMG as their go-to destination management company on PEI. 🎉👏
Business events are so much more than gatherings — they create real economic impact. On PEI alone, meetings and conferences contribute up to $23.5 million annually, supporting local jobs and businesses across the Island.
For example, one meeting of 300 delegates in Charlottetown represents roughly $551,000 in economic impact and 112 jobs supported! That’s big business!!
Across Canada, the numbers are even more powerful:
- $47B in direct spending
- 40% of all tourism spending
- 242,000+ jobs
Big thanks to Meet PEI for leading the charge and showcasing why meetings mean business on the Island. Let’s keep growing this vital sector together!
