Shaping our Future are engaging with the community to help review our capacity for tourism – how many visitors can we carry whilst maintaining a positive socio-economic/cultural/environmental balance.
 
The purpose of this survey is to hear what people think about the positive and negative impacts of tourism and how the impacts can be measured to ensure the balance.
The findings of our engagement will inform project work on this subject that QLDC and DQ/ Tourism Wanaka plan to do later this year and Shaping our Future will advocate around the key issues as identified by our community.
