Vancouver Island Exit Survey
Tourism Vancouver Island has finished work on the 2008 Vancouver Island Exit Survey; a year-long project partly funded by Service Canada and partnered with Tourism BC, BC Ferries Corporation and Vancouver Island University.
The project was completed in November 2008 and incorporates data collection at 13 regional exit points including BC Ferries termini, regional airports, float plane termini, and additional marine locations as appropriate. Over 4000 visitors took part in the survey with around 2300 completed questionnaires which has been analyzed and is available for downloading.
