Reports
Tourism Barometer's
Dover District Council and Visit Kent are working to streamline
the way we request information from you, so that in future you only
have to complete and submit one form. In order to achieve this
Visit Kent will in future collate the visitor levels data from our
individual attractions via an online form, your details will then
be added to their database and you will be contacted monthly by
them to complete your figures.
All the information collated is confidential but Dover
District Council needs to obtain permission from you that you
would like to participate in the Barometer and that you are happy
for your information to be shared between Visit Kent and Dover
District Council. This ensures that we will be able to continue
sharing accurate district wide figures with the tourism
industry.
Benefits of collecting the figures helps both Kent and DDC
provide vital information to you and national tourism organisations
like Tourism South East and Visit Britain.
