SURVEY FOR THE WEST VIRGINIA TOURISM PLAN
As part of its work on the West Virginia Tourism Plan, AECOM would like to begin to develop an industry database; to learn about your involvement in the West Virginia Tourism Industry, and to seek your ideas regarding the future direction of tourism in the state. The first page of this survey asks for information from everyone, and then asks for specific information from Attractions & Events, Tourism Promotion Organizations and Hospitality & Travel businesses. The second half of the survey asks for thoughts from everyone. Please take a few minutes and complete the survey below. You can return your completed survey to the West Virginia Division of Tourism, 90 MacCorkle Ave., SW, South Charleston WV 25303.
