How You Feel About Tourism

In 2022, we asked our community to provide us with feedback on tourism within Revelstoke.

In response to what we heard from residents, Tourism Revelstoke created a Destination Management Plan in partnership with other key stakeholders and organizations within our community. This plan was designed with a 50 year outlook for Revelstoke and is intended to help Revelstokians work towards a shared vision for the future.

2024 marks the second round of our Resident's Talk Tourism survey. We asked residents to once again share their thoughts, feelings and insights related to tourism in Revelstoke to benchmark against 2022 results. Responses and feedback have been compiled and will be used to help inform our Destination Management priorities for the coming years.

We asked over 560 residents to rate the quality of life in Revelstoke on a scale of 1 to 10, and saw an average of rating of 8.14 (up 0.59 pts from 7.55 in 2022). We also asked asked if residents felt the quality of life is getting better, getting worse or staying the same. In 2022, the majority of residents believed it was getting worse, but this year we saw a shift in perspective, with the majority of residents responding that they believe the quality of life is getting better.

While there are multiple factors that may have contributed to this shift, these results highlight a positive trajectory for the future of Revelstoke. Tourism Revelstoke is committed to listening to the community and encourages residents to reach out any time throughout the year by visiting the contact us page.
