The tourism sector in BC and worldwide has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the related restrictions on non-essential travel. Several months into this unprecedented global crisis, Kootenay Rockies Tourism (KRT), the Regional Destination Management Organization for southeastern BC, is seeking to measure the resident’s level of comfort with visiting local businesses, welcoming visitors to their community and travel intentions and motivations. As the residents... of the Kootenay Rockies region, you are the heart of our communities and the foundation on which our region thrives. It is crucial that we understand your thoughts and feelings on tourism. Tourism is one of the most important economic sectors in the Kootenay Rockies region. The destination welcomes 2.3 million overnight visitors annually, which is approximately 11% of total visitors to BC total. On average, 50% of our visitors are from Alberta, with a proportion reaching 70% for the eastern side of the region. Each year, visitors bring $725,000,000 in visitor spending, which translates to approximately $2.5 billion in tourism revenue. Over 7,300 people are employed in the tourism industry in this region. Tourism also provides countless cultural, social and recreational benefits to the region, and valuable services enjoyed by residents that could not be sustained without the influx of visitors. Please consider taking our Resident Survey to help us plan the recovery of the tourism industry. This survey will only take 12-15 minutes of your time and is open from January 11 to 18, 2021 inclusively. Survey Link: https://www.surveymonkey.ca/r/krtourism_residentsentiment

We will be closed on Wednesday, November 11th for Remembrance Day.
