Economic Impact Survey TemplateT.007This template seeks to get an indication of economic importance of tourism to a municipality. To do this we need to find out something aboutvisitor expenditure. Would you be able to spend five minutes to answer a few questions?1. What country are you from?2. Did you stay in the Town or District last night or will you stay tonight ?YES- TOWN YES – DISTRICT NOT TOWN NOWhat sort of accommodation did you / will you stay at in Akaroa or the district ?1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Bed & Breakfast CommercialCamp Ground(not DOC)Camp / campervan(not at commercialcampground)Motel BackpackershostelPrivate Home Hotel Other (specify)3. How long have you been in the municipality until now: days hours4. How long do you expect your total stay in the municipality will be: days hoursInterviewer Note for Tables on Next Page:For overnight visitors who have been here less than 24 hours, we want to be able to adjust their expenditure to a per 24 hours, so getactual hours to date. Some people think of expenditure in some categories on a per trip basis (e.g. accommodation, where they pay atthe end). If someone is staying overnight in commercial accommodation but has spent nothing so far or in the last 24 hours, please askthem to estimate what their accommodation expenditure per night will be.For day visitors we want to rate up their expenditure to date to expenditure per trip, so we need to know how many hours they havebeen here so far and how many hours they expect to be here in total.
