| CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19): How we are gathering your feedback As many of our tourism stakeholders know, an effort to monitor the progression of COVID-19 on Ontario’s tourism industry has been launched by TIAO and Regional Tourism Organizations to help provide up-to-date information to the Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries, Lisa MacLeod. Many of you responded to last week’s survey which closed this past Monday at 9:00am. Thank you for your feedback. We also thank you for your candid responses in regards to the survey itself and have noted your requests. Please find the summary of last week’s survey HERE. To further flesh out the crucial data we are collecting from our industry, we have created an incremental survey with support from our destination marketing organizations and other supporting partners and agencies. This survey includes a deeper dive into your experience including cancellations, revenue loss and visitor origin. This information is imperative to shaping a Northern response to the effects of COVID-19 on our industry. We strongly encourage your to continued participation in the TIAO survey which collects board data across the province. We also urge you to follow up by completing the additional survey below so we can partner to create a collective Northern response that will be based in real-time and relevant data from our industry. We will be continuing these surveys weekly. Thank you for your input and your patience. » Take the TIAO survey here! » Take the Northern survey here! Please note the surveys will close at 8:00am on Monday March 23rd, so that we can collate and analyze the information. |
