swoopy2110 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 DFE have launched a 'visitor survey' trying to extract information out visitors as to how much travel cost and how much they spent on Island. If you say you are an IOM resident then the survey just ends. Not arsed about the residents POV and what we thought of it obviously! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a visitors survey be interested in the views of residents? You seem to be getting irate over nothing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair that's what they've been doing every TT recently and I quoted a lot from the 2019 survey. It might be interesting to ask a few specific questions of locals (eg if they are going off-Island because of TT) but the main purpose is to assess what TT visitors do.

I guess the prize for the quickest is that they don't get stuck in the queue, with all the risks that entails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just interested in how much they've extracted out of visitors. As other have pointed out there are regular surveys done at the Sea Terminal on the reasons people are travelling. There are also MHKs who are elected by residents who you can go and speak to directly if you want to share your views. That direct line of communication is much better than filling in a questionnaire . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
