RESIDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF TOURISM 2026

Welcome to the annual Residents’ Perceptions of Tourism survey conducted by the Southern Gulf Islands Tourism Partnership (SGITP.) This survey tracks and monitors local sentiment towards the tourism industry. The insights from the study will help inform SGITP’s destination marketing and stewardship strategies, incorporating residents’ influence on tourism planning, as well as to measure progress on its Five-Year Strategic Plan (2024-2029).

The survey takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete and closes on October 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM PT. By completing the survey fully and honestly, you will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a $50 gift card to a local business.
