Please find below the results of February’s visitation and spend survey.
Response rates for February were limited, with only received 50 responses received in total. We encourage members to continue participating in the survey so that we can provide you with accurate information on visitor numbers and spend over time. This information has the potential to help your business with decision-making, and will help MRBTA to determine the focus of its visitor servicing and marketing efforts.
