Galloway National Park: Initial Tourism Survey

Deadline for completion 9am, Monday 4th November 2024

This survey is open to all tourism businesses in Dumfries and Galloway, and South and East Ayrshire. Please ensure you state your business name and postcode, as your submission cannot be validated and included without these.

The results of this initial Tourism Survey will be shared with NatureScot, and so will feed into their ultimate recommendations for the Scottish Government, but it is important that Tourism businesses also take part in the formal NatureScot consultation after the 4th of November.

By completing this survey, you are agreeing for your views to be included in the overall (anonymised and aggregated) results - e.g. "78% of tourism business respondents said...". Unless you choose to (question 21), no direct quotes will be taken from your submission and nothing will be publicly attributable to you or your business. Your details will not be shared with any third parties and you can choose (question 22) whether you wish to receive any further communications.
