October 2-4, 2023, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
Since 1994 this biennial event has rotated between the four Atlantic Provinces and has brought together national and international Buyers to provide them with an opportunity to experience Atlantic Canada’s products.
Atlantic Canada Showcase is a Buyer-seated marketplace designed especially for the group tour, F.I.T. and specialty travel industry and will be hosted in Charlottetown, PE from October 2-4, 2023 with pre and post familiarization tours available.
On behalf of the 2023 Atlantic Canada Showcase (ACS) Host Committee, I cannot wait to welcome you to Prince Edward Island’s capital city of Charlottetown in October! As we prepare to showcase the best Atlantic Canadian tourism experiences and products, we are working hard to create an event that is impactful, engaging, and memorable for everyone.
Atlantic Canada Showcase provides a venue to connect our tourism operators (sellers) and tour operators (buyers) who build lasting business relationships, all while experiencing the pinnacle of Atlantic Canadian hospitality. Atlantic Canada is well known for its warm, friendly people and rich histories and cultures, and when we gather in Charlottetown from October 2-4, 2023, we look forward to sharing all of that with you.
Thank you for joining us for ACS 2023 in Prince Edward Island and once again, on behalf of all four Atlantic Provinces, please let me extend our sincerest welcome to you. See you soon!
Yours in travel,
Marsha Doiron
Chair, ACS 2023

WHO GOES TO THE CONFERENCE?
Lori MacDonald – Rodd Hotels & Resorts
As a tourism operator, I was blown away by the opportunities the Atlantic Canada Showcase provided for my business. Not only did I have the chance to showcase my offerings to some of the top buyers in the industry, but I also gained valuable insights and connections that have helped me grow my business.
Corinne Fuoco – Jonview Canada
I had an amazing time at the Atlantic Canada Showcase! As a buyer, I was able to connect with some of the top tourism providers in the region and find some truly unique offerings for my clients. The organization of the event made it easy for me to navigate and make meaningful connections.
2023 Location
Prince Edward Island
Prince Edward Island is your place to slow down and unwind. Yes, there may be a lively buzz at the dock when a Bluefin Tuna is landed or at a ceilidh when the fiddler starts a jig, but there’s no rush.
Our welcoming communities, spectacular beaches, rolling hills and trails have more than enough room for everyone to spread out and breathe in the fresh ocean air. Consider this your official invitation to come and experience our history, culture, outdoor adventure, and world-class local food.
Explore our scenic coastal beauty and meet the people of our Authentic PEI Experiences – elders, chefs, artisans, farmers and fishers, musicians, and a host of other characters, as charming as Anne of Green Gables herself, who love what they do and want to share it.
Canada’s Food Island, with seaside villages, historic downtowns, and a vibrant capital city, is ready to welcome you with warm hospitality. Feel lighter!
