Tourism Business Survey

Cumbria Tourism has been monitoring tourism business performance through a quarterly survey for almost a decade.

The aim of the survey is to gauge the performance of the wide range of tourism businesses that make up the tourism industry in Cumbria. In addition to retrospective assessment of business performance, the survey asks about business prospects for the coming three months, and covers topical issues.

What are the benefits?

This quarterly survey enables Cumbria Tourism to report quickly and accurately on the state of the tourism industry in Cumbria. The survey has been carried out for a number of years and so provides continuous trend data to monitor changes over time. It is a crucial opportunity for dialogue with tourism businesses, allowing us to explore issues relevant to the development of the tourism industry - such as the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, business needs (which can be used as evidence to support funding applications), or employment and skills development issues.


How does it work?
Every quarter an email is sent to tourism businesses in the county, enabling them to complete the survey online. The questionnaire is short and easy to complete and costs nothing but a few moments of your time.


What does it cost?
Nothing - this is an opportunity for you to tell us how your business is performing and tell us about issues relevant to your business.
