Wildfire Economic Impact Survey

KRT is currently seeking to collect information regarding the economic impact of the current wildfire situation on tourism businesses throughout the Kootenay Rockies region. The goal is to provide the provincial government with a comprehensive overview of the effects on businesses in both directly affected areas and unaffected areas. This includes actual loss of revenue through cancellations as well as potential loss of revenue through declines in visitation compared to this same time last year or previous years.

In order to best communicate our collective voice, we are inviting all stakeholders and communities to bring their own experience to the table by completing this short survey which should take approximately 5 minutes to complete.

We thank you for your ongoing support.
