Cumberland Tourism Development Research Project

Cumberland region has engaged a consultant to undertake a Tourism Development Research Project. As part of the project, we’re looking for input from our community on tourism today and how we want it to look in the future.

We are specifically looking for additional input from tourism operators at this time to help round out the data collection to make informed decisions regarding tourism in Cumberland.

If you are a resident of Cumberland Region or if you operate a tourism business that is not an accommodation provider (e.g. restaurant, tour company, beverage producer, festival or event, attraction, retailers, etc.) Please use this link to participate:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CR_TourismSurvey

In an effort to ensure we hear from operators, the survey has been extended to 13 October 2024.

If you own or operate an accommodation (e.g. hotel, motel, campground, bed and breakfast, short-term rental, etc.), please do not complete the above survey and instead use this link below for the accommodation-provider version:

Every municipality has a delicate balancing act to perform, managing scarce resources with commitments to residents, while servicing incurred debt and preparing for future infrastructure expenditures.
A typically overlooked element of these tasks is the process of public communication. While there may always be persons dissatisfied (and vocal) about the methods and speed of meeting a municipality’s responsibilities, it can be expected that effective public communication can serve to mitigate a difficult government-resident relationship.  pdf Please click here to continue reading....
