Your Read on the Season Ahead Matters.

We are heading into a season unlike any we have navigated together. Economic pressure at home and abroad, shifting cross-border dynamics, changing travel patterns, and softer consumer confidence are all reshaping the visitor landscape across RTO 12. While we have access to accommodation, visitor, marketing, and economic data, that information is not enough on its own.

We need to hear directly from the businesses on the ground.

Your input through the Spring Business Confidence Survey will help Explorers’ Edge better understand current business conditions across the regional visitor economy and guide decisions around marketing, partnerships, workforce, product development, and advocacy.

Take the Survey

The survey takes approximately five minutes to complete.

Why Your Input Matters

Your responses help us better understand:

  • How businesses are feeling about the season ahead
  • What pressures operators are facing
  • Where marketing support may be needed most
  • Which visitor markets and travel periods require attention
  • What barriers are affecting staffing, sales, bookings, and business confidence
  • How Explorers’ Edge can better advocate for operators across the region

The more businesses we hear from, the sharper and more useful our regional planning becomes.

What You’ll Receive

Once the survey has been tabulated, participating businesses will receive early access to a regional results snapshot, allowing you to see how your perspective compares with other operators across RTO 12.

Respondents may also choose to enter a draw for one of three $50 gift cards from regional tourism businesses.

Help Shape the Season Ahead

This year more than most, your read on the ground is what we will be steering by.

Please take a few minutes to complete the Spring Business Confidence Survey and help inform how Explorers’ Edge supports the visitor economy in the months ahead.
