Visitor Survey Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania 2022

Data pool for targeted tourism development at all levels

On behalf of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (MV) Tourism Association and in cooperation with the seven regional associations of the state, benchmark:services is currently conducting a state-wide visitor survey.

The aim of the survey is to create a database from which those responsible for tourism at all levels can gain insights for targeted and future-oriented tourism development. The survey is aimed at all guests who have spent a privately motivated day trip, short trip or holiday in MV. Methodically, the survey is based on the concept of the Comparative Visitor Monitor (VGM). It is conducted in writing with the help of an online and a print questionnaire, each in seven region-specific variants.
