Chelan County seeks community feedback in tourism impact survey

Chelan County's commissioners have contracted BERK Consulting to evaluate tourism's multifaceted impacts on the region. The study will cover areas such as local employment, tax revenue, environmental effects, and community dynamics. Initial research has included interviews and meetings with key stakeholders in Chelan, Leavenworth, and Wenatchee. Community input is vital, leading officials to encourage residents and business owners to fill out an online survey designed to gather diverse perspectives. The survey takes under 10 minutes and includes options for extensive comments.

The steering committee guiding this effort includes representatives from local tourism and business organizations. Public participation will help shape the county's tourism priorities and strategies. Residents can find more details on the Chelan County Tourism Impact Project webpage.
