Community & Stakeholder Participation Surveys
Participate in the Destination Assessment
In updating this plan, it is important for all voices to be heard, including the voices of our residents. We know that tourism development can have both positive and negative implications for the quality of life of residents. We believe that making Southeast Volusia a better place to live and work will also make it a more appealing place to visit.
We would sincerely appreciate your time to complete a quick survey, which will take approximately 15 minutes. Survey responses are anonymous, and your email will not be used for any other purposes. The survey closes on October 31, 2025.
As a key civic leader and stakeholder in the visitor economy, we are asking for your participation in this important assessment. The survey is comprehensive. Questions are simple and represent a broad set of topics addressing various elements of your community – including some elements which may seem beyond the scope of Destination Management Organization’s work, but indeed are relevant to and may impact visitors’ experiences.
Community Process & Focus Groups
New Smyrna Beach Area’s Destination Master Plan is a community-driven process. As the plan is developed, hundreds of regional stakeholders from the 5 communities of Southeast Volusia will be actively included in the process through a variety of engagements including 1:1 interviews, town hall meetings, resident and stakeholder surveys, and focus groups.
