County launches tourism perception survey

Chelan County has commissioned a comprehensive study on the impacts of tourism.

BERK Consulting is conducting research, providing analysis and developing a comprehensive report with recommendations for how to enhance the positive impacts of tourism while mitigating its negative effects. The study looks at the impacts of tourism on local jobs and businesses, tax receipts and public services, the natural environment and Chelan County communities.

Chelan County residents and business owners are encouraged to share their perceptions and experiences with tourism by completing a brief online survey.

To date, BERK Consulting has conducted key community stakeholder interviews; held stakeholder meetings in Chelan, Leavenworth, and Wenatchee; and gathered research to develop initial impact analysis. These efforts have been informed by a dedicated steering committee.

Please visit the Chelan County Tourism Impact Project webpage for more information.
