A Big Year On Pei
With all this and a rosy looking summer it is simply icing on the cake that this year reality show "Big Break" will premier on the Golf Channel and PEI will host the 2009 Canada Summer games. The attention that these events bring to the island will definitely increase the interest in the island and the value of PEI real estate. Twice PEI has earned the distinction of being the top Canadian golf destination as decided by Score Magazine. Despite its small size PEI's rolling landscape makes it ideal for building golf courses. PEI boasts 26 golf courses from the well known Links at Crowbush Cove, to Dundarave and Brudenell River. As a consequence of PEI's relatively small size PEI's 26 courses are all within easy reach of each other making it possible to play a few per day or to take your time and enjoy one and then kick back and enjoy the beaches, food, deep sea fishing and much more, Mill River Golf Course, PEI's popular golf course located west of Summerside, was the site of Golf Channel’s popular “Big Break” series. This reality golf show was made in 2008 and will be aired this year on the Golf Channel. The first airing of Big Break Prince Edward Island is April 20 on the Golf Channel Network. Twelve contestants will play twelve elimination rounds. The final two will compete in a match to determine the winner. The contestants are Aaron Wright, Brenda McLarnon, Eugene Smith, Gerina Mendoza, Robert read, Caroline Larsson, Derek Gillespie, Nicole Sikora, William Thompson, Blair O'Neal, Brian Skatell and Kim Kouwabunpat. As the first Canadian destination of this new reality series, PEI will be exposed to golf enthusiasts throughout North America and even internationally. The 2009 Canada Games, PEI's second "big break" this year is a multi-sport and cultural event that brings together the best athletes in a specified age group from each Canadian province and territory. All the provinces have hosted at least one Canada Games and this will be the second for PEI having hosted the 1991 Canada Winter Games. The games attract on average over 50,000 competitors and attendees. The games will host events all over the island, helping to spread the positive economic impact fairly through all communities. Sports this year include Basketball, Cycling, Diving, Rugby, Sailing, Soccer, Tennis, Triathlon, Beach Volleyball, Wrestling, Rowing, Baseball, Golf, Swimming, Athletics, Kayaking and Canoeing, and Volleyball. When you combine the economic spin-offs of having golf, one of our biggest tourist attractions promoted on the Golf Channel, which airs in 80 million homes in Canada and the United States and 30 million more internationally, as well as hosting the 2009 Canada Games, and add a lower gas price, and a lower dollar, PEI is poised for a good year. Already it is being reported that hotels and other accommodations are booking up with a report of some 30,000 delegates coming for various conventions and events. So while the rest of the world looks on islanders brace for what we all see as possibly the best tourist season yet!
