Influential Travel Guide Puts PEI on 10 Extraordinary Islands List

* Tourism and Culture [to May 2015]
Prince Edward Island has been selected by Frommer’s Travel Guide as one of the 10 most interesting islands in the world says Minister of Tourism and Culture Robert Vessey.

“Frommer’s listed our beautiful island on its recent 10 Extraordinary Islands,” said Minister Vessey. “It is wonderful recognition to be on a list that includes island destinations such as Bora Bora in the French Polynesia, Lamu in Kenya and Isle of Wight along the English Channel, to name but a few. This is a great honour that the Department of Tourism and Culture along with the Province of Prince Edward Island is proud to boast.”

Frommer’s is a guidebook series and one of the bestselling travel guides in America. The series began in 1957 with the publication of Arthur Frommer‘s book, Europe on $5 a Day. Frommer’s has expanded to include over 350 guidebooks across 14 series, as well as other media including the award winning Frommers.com website which covers over 3,500 destinations.

In 2007, Frommer’s celebrated its 50th anniversary of guidebook publishing. Since May 2007, Arthur Frommer has been actively blogging about travel self-published on the Frommers.com website.
