NEW this year in 2022, WSSSM took advantage of QR codes being more popular and has asked each visitor to fill out a "Visitor Survey" which asks zip code and overnight stay info. This Representative Survey provided incredible information for us', 12o/o of visitors are staying overnight in a hotel or Air B n B and another 60/o a,ta staying overnight in a private home. Previous surveys had indicated 5% of guests were staying overnight. Survey data also indicates that97% of visitors are from outside Kittitas County. Previous estimates were that 90% were from outside the county. Survey data indicates that 16% of visitors are from outside Washington State. Being a small museum, WSSSM hosts welcome each and every guest into the museum and have a chance to chat and say hello. Volunteers are trained to count each and every guest and are now asking zip code and if and where the person has stayed overnight and what locations. Attached is the QR code Visitor Survey and the WSSSM Operations Checklist form that is used by our volunteers to track information about visitors. We will also work with Suncadia, our new host hotel, to obtain detailed information on heads in beds as a result of our in-person events for 2023.
