Destination BC - 2017/18 Wildfires and Floods Impact Study

Welcome to the 2017/18 Wildfires and Floods Impact Study. Destination British Columbia is interested to learn the collective impact the wildfires and floods have had on tourism businesses in the past two years. All tourism businesses are invited to share their experience, regardless of the level of impact (if at all) on their business.

Your input is vital to the success of this study. The information you share will be used in aggregate to assess the viability of proceeding with a provincial-wide economic impact study to ensure provincial representation across different business types. As such, this survey will ask you to assess business impacts on employment, revenue and occupancy, using percentages, for both 2017 and 2018. Therefore we strongly recommend that you have your business records to refer to when completing the survey.

Once all responses have been collected and analyzed, a summary of the results will be shared via our industry newsletter (Destination BC Directions), and through our regional tourism partners and TIABC.

All responses are anonymous and will only be reported in aggregate. Destination BC will not know if you complete this survey or the responses you provide. If you should receive more than one invitation to participate, please only complete the survey once.

We anticipate that the survey will take 10 to 15 minutes to complete, based on your responses. Please complete and submit the survey as soon as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns about this survey, please contact R.A. Malatest & Associates Ltd. at destinationbcstudy@malatest.com or 1-855-412-1936.
