Entry Island constitutes an undeniable attraction for visitors to the Magdalen Islands, as well as for Madelinots. About 9,000 people visit the island to holiday or on excursions each year. However, the lack of appropriate facilities and services makes it difficult to receive visitors properly. Failings in this area lead to degradation of the environment and reduced quality of life for residents. Recognizing the need to receive its guests in an appropriate manner and to better direct their visit - as well as recognizing the opportunity to offer them an exclusive, quality product - the Entry Island Harbour Authority hired Luc Gagnon, an anthropology student at Universite Laval to accompany the community through a process of strategic development planning oriented towards tourism. This plan concerns Entry Island exclusively, and is meant to complement the tourism development plan adopted by Tourisme lies de la Madeleine.
