How optimistic are you for the next 3 months? (Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire respondents)
The Tourism Industry Barometer is a nationwide survey conducted on a quarterly basis. The survey is a partnership between VisitScotland, local councils and destination organisations. The results are used at a regional level to provide feedback to businesses on how tourism in our area is performing.
Aberdeenshire participated in the survey for the first time recently, reporting on business performance for Q2, 2018 (Respondents = 100).
