Resident Input Needed in New Community Survey

SCHOHARIE COUNTY — Residents of Schoharie County are invited to participate in a brief and anonymous Resident Sentiment Survey, now available at bit.ly/SchoharieRSS. The survey takes just a few minutes and offers residents the chance to share their views on tourism and quality of life in our region.

The survey invite comes from Destination Marketing Corporation (DMC)—the official tourism office for the county and the team behind Visit Schoharie County and is administered by Rove Marketing in partnership with the New York State Tourism Industry Association (NYSTIA), using the TRAVELSAT© Resident Index—a global standard developed by the award-winning agency TCI Research. This index has been used around the world to measure how residents feel about tourism’s impact on their communities, from economic benefits and infrastructure to entertainment and overall livability.

Tourism growth can only succeed when it has the support and trust of the people who call a place home. That’s why this effort is so important—because resident input is key to building a community where people want to live, work, and visit.

The Resident Sentiment Survey program helps identify both the strengths and challenges communities face. The results will help shape future tourism planning efforts in Schoharie County and may also be benchmarked against regional and statewide data.

DMC and Visit Schoharie County are committed to promoting the area in a way that respects, uplifts, and supports the residents who live here year-round.

Take the survey today at bit.ly/SchoharieRSS. Your voice matters.
