The term Experiential Tourism is based on developing experiences that allow visitors to use their senses and interact in a hands-on approach with the Island's culture. These types of products and offerings can represent Prince Edward Island culture in art, nature and cuisine. It can be as simple as picking berries, making jam or learning how to "throw a pot" from a local craftsperson.
Experiences are usually provided by an artisan/ producer/fishermen in the community who creates jewelry, art, produce, creates pottery, fishes lobster, etc. It is done by someone who is passionate about what they do and want to pass that passion on. It will be something visitors will tell their friends about what they go home.
