Sentence fragments.

Lots of sentence fragments. Sentence fragments are, "young" and "cool", perhaps?
Rich with history. Rife with culture. Sprawling with natural beauty. All these wonders have been here for thousands of years, embraced by those who happened upon them. It’s up to the traveler to enjoy them, to go vigorously in search of people, adventure, of experience. Around every corner, around every bend, you will find a piece of heaven, a delightful sight, a playful breeze that will help your journey.
And oy! Holy redundancies Batman:
Below is a map of Labrador Skies, the region covering the Labrador portion of Newfoundland and Labrador.
"Labrador Skies"? Other places don't have skies? Isn't the point of tourism marketing to highlight what you have that is unique?

And wow! The "Lighthouses" page manages to ignore Point Amour, the tallest in the province, tied with Point-au-Père as the tallest on Canada's Atlantic seaboard, and second-tallest in the country, and about to celebrate its sesquicentennial.

If Point Amour was anywhere near St. John's, you think the tourism people might have noted any of that?

And how about this little ditty from the historic sights section, and I’m not even trying.
"Visit the abandoned Moravian communities built in faith by missionaries in Hopedale and Hebron in the 1700s".
I’m sure the 700 odd people of Hopedale will be pleased to know they are redundant.
