West Virginia University Extension is looking for residents to help shape the future of tourism in the New River Gorge region.

Adults who live in Fayette, Nicholas, Raleigh, or Summers counties are invited to take part in a short, anonymous survey focused on tourism, outdoor recreation, and quality of life.

The survey is part of a partnership between WVU Extension, the Fayetteville, New River Gorge, and Visit Southern West Virginia Convention and Visitor Bureaus.

Officials say the feedback will help tourism leaders and community decision-makers better understand local perspectives and guide future tourism development.

Participants must be at least 18 years old, and those who complete the survey will be entered for a chance to win gift cards to local New River Gorge businesses.

The survey only takes a few minutes to complete and is available now through WVU Extension at form.ext.wvu.edu/newrivergorgetourismstudy.
