Destination Gettysburg seeks community input, releases resident sentiment survey

Adams County residents encouraged to participate

Gettysburg, PA – Destination Gettysburg is seeking input from Adams County residents through a tourism sentiment survey to help guide the organization into the future.

The 11-question, multiple choice survey is designed to gauge residents’ perceptions of the tourism industry as well as the work of Destination Gettysburg, the official destination marketing organization of Adams County, PA. The anonymous survey should take less than three minutes to complete. The survey will be available online at DestinationGettysburg.com/survey now through May 31.

Those who take the survey and choose to provide their email address will be entered for a chance to win one of five $100 gift cards to local restaurants. Winners will be selected randomly and contacted via email.

While Destination Gettysburg’s marketing efforts often focus on attracting visitors to Adams County, its mission is to serve the community. The results of the survey are expected to provide valuable insight into how Destination Gettysburg can best serve the community.

“The Adams County community plays a vital role in the tourism industry, and we care about what they think,” President and CEO Karl Pietrzak said. “We hope this survey allows us to understand how we can best engage with the community and align our values with those of Adams County residents. We want local residents to enjoy the benefits of living in this historic place as much as our visitors do.”

While Destination Gettysburg has worked closely with community leaders and local businesses since its founding, this will mark the first time the organization has offered a county-wide resident sentiment survey. Residents are encouraged to take the survey and share it with other residents. Destination Gettysburg intends to issue survey again in 18 months for comparison purposes.

Destination Gettysburg, the official destination marketing organization of Adams County, Pa., promotes Gettysburg and Adams County as a premier travel destination to benefit and enhance our community by sharing history and creating new experiences.
