Word on the street is that there are more British people visiting than ever. Why wouldn't they? The pound is worth twice as much as the dollar and we're only a cheap 5-7 hour flight away. Oh, we also have the Queen on our money.
Premier Ghiz: Cancel our ads in New England, get a weekly direct flight from London to Charlottetown with Ryan Air, and get some ads on London's tube.
The UK is PEI's new New England. The sooner we realize that the better.

Our first visitors - In EARLY MAY! - were Brits. I agree Dan - not just Tourism - a weekly flight to Europe would be packed on both ends I think.

I couldn't agree more with your comment..."get a weekly direct flight from London to Charlottetown with Ryan Air, and get some ads on London's tube". I also think there is a strong market for this. I agree with Rob's thoughts as well that the flight would be busy both ways. Despite the cost of fuel, many people think nothing of hopping on flights on a regular basis.

Well put. Seems obvious doesn't it?
