If you’re a business owner or resident in the Scenic City, Chattanooga Tourism Co. wants to hear how tourism impacts the community.

In partnership with UTC, the organization has launched its first-ever Tourism Sentiment Surveys. These surveys aim to understand locals’ perspectives of tourism + its potential impact on their quality of life.

There are two surveys folks can take. The Business Tourism Sentiment Survey, targeting local business owners (whether they are residents or not), is currently live. The Resident Tourism Sentiment Survey will be available to take on Wednesday, Aug. 21.

The feedback gathered from the surveys will be used to build relationships with community stakeholders + influence decision-making and policy development.

Bonus: One respondent from each survey has the chance to win a prize package including a $100 Chattanooga dining gift card, merch, and tickets for four to 10+ popular attractions.
