1 Visitor Profile Tourism Nanaimo Summer 2017 Concept and Model This visitor profile was created for Tourism Nanaimo, in partnership with the local region and The Sociable Scientists. Between June and September 2017, 14 ballot boxes were placed across the region at businesses, operations, and events that visitors frequent. Prompted by an information poster on the Visitor Experience Survey and the chance to win a prize package (upon completion of the survey) provided by tourism operators in the region, visitors could complete a ballot with their name and address while in the community, then drop it in the ballot box. Approximately two weeks later, The Sociable Scientists sent those visitors an invitation to complete an online survey on their experience in the region. Once the survey was closed in mid-september, The Sociable Scientists analyzed the data, and then created this visitor profile. Special Points of Interest: Visitors were intercepted from June to September of A total of 1,999 invitations were sent and 742 surveys were completed. The response rate was 40%. Out of 742 completed surveys, 9 were minors and 197 were residents resulting in 536 useable surveys.
2 Trip Motivation Figure 1. This word cloud represents the words visitors used to describe the inspiration for their trip to Nanaimo. Out of 472 responses, the top 9 were family (80), beautiful (29), friends (20), ocean (15), relaxing (14), camping (13), nature (12), fun (10) and convenience (10). Trip Purpose When asked about the purpose of their visit, 58% of visitors indicated their trip was for leisure, 33% said they were visiting friends and/or relatives, 6% said it was for a combination of business and leisure, and 4% said it was for business or work.

4 Planning Figure 5. This figure shows how far in advance visitors planned their trip to Nanaimo. 53% of respondents planned their trip within one month of their visit.

5 Transportation Figure 7a. Visitors were asked to indicate what type of transportation they used to travel to Vancouver Island. The results do not include visitors that reside on Vancouver Island. 1% of visitors or less chose cruise ship, personal boat, and other. Of the 56% of visitors who arrived by ferry, 51% landed at Departure Bay, 38% landed at Duke Point, and 13% at Swartz Bay. 84% of ferry passengers travelled in a vehicle and 16% were walkon passengers. Of the 43% of visitors who arrived by air, 77% landed at the Nanaimo Airport, 10% landed at the Victoria International Airport, and 7% arrived at the Nanaimo Harbour. Figure 7a. Transportation to Vancouver Island Ferry 56% Seaplane/float plane 2% Airplane 41% Would love to see the downtown core revitalized. It is such a beautiful city and it is, from my perspective, a shame that so much focus has gone into developing strip malls to the north. Nanaimo's beauty comes from the fact it is on the ocean and the downtown core has a tremendous amount of potential and historical ambiance. Figure 7b. Transportation to Nanaimo Personal vehicle Rental vehicle Airplane Recreational vehicle 6% 13% 18% 62% Figure 7b. This figure demonstrates what form of transportation visitors used to get to and from Nanaimo once they had arrived on Vancouver Island (including residents of Vancouver Island).

The people that rate between 0 and 6 are considered detractors, those that rate 7 or 8 or considered passives, and those that rate 9 or 10 are considered promoters. The results show that 47% of visitors are promoters, 22% are passives, and 31% are detractors. The Net Promoter Score* for Nanaimo is *Net Promoter, NPS, and the NPS-related emoticons are registered service marks, and Net Promoter Score and Net Promoter System are service marks, of Bain & Company, Inc.,Satmetrix Systems, Inc. and Fred Reichheld Detractors Much as I like Nanaimo it is because I have family and friends to visit - there are many more lovely places to see on the island if you are on vacation. Cost is a factor. Hotels can be quite expensive. While I really enjoyed myself, Nanaimo is a "little rough around the edges" which may not be for everybody. Passives Recommend it to people who are looking for a small, walkable city. Duration of the ferry trip and the price of the ferry ticket account for me not giving Nanaimo a higher number for a travel destination. Easy, affordable get away from Vancouver...even if you don't have access to a car. Good restaurants and really cute waterfront! Promoters Easily accessible from the mainland, a beautiful and an enjoyable and pleasurable city to visit, and a terrific hub for visiting other areas of Vancouver Island. Nanaimo offers great outdoor activities, and ample shopping and restaurants to suit all tastes. Love Nanaimo because there is so much to do and it is central to everywhere. Yet it's small enough that people still try to care.. Visitor Profile Nanaimo
11 Importance/Performance Ratings Figure 18. Visitors were asked to rate the importance of a number of features in their decision to visit Nanaimo on a scale from Not At All Important (1) to Extremely Important (5). They were then asked to evaluate each feature based on their actual experience in the region on a scale from Very Bad (1) to Excellent (5). Figure 18 shows the average performance of each feature compared with visitors perceptions of importance. The overall satisfaction rating was 4.9 out of 5 (97%). Figure 18.

12 Figure 19. Visitors were asked to share the most enjoyable part of their trip to Nanaimo in one word. Their responses are displayed in the word cloud above. Of the 437 responses, the top eight were scenery (29), family (24), ocean (22), beautiful (21), relaxing (18), harbour (16), weather (12), and nature (11). Suggestions for improvements (openended feedback) Visitors were asked open-ended questions asking for feedback and suggestions for improvements to the tourism experience in Nanaimo. Responses were themed; the main four are listed below and accompanied by direct quotations from visitors (spelling and grammar have been corrected for readability). More open-ended responses can be found in Appendix A. Natural amenities Better preservation of the natural resources that mother nature provides: Old growth forests, marine waters, wildlife (land and water), other forests and wet lands, lakes, preserve waterfront for all. Maintain the richness of the area for all - it is much more valuable that way and ethical. Better monitoring, regulation and control of fisheries and poachers. Extend the waterfront walk Clean up the garbage in public parks and trail areas. Mountain bikers would welcome information on the available mountain bike trails online or on printed maps. Activities & attractions Wanted to rent a kayak and a bike and could not find any location. More outdoor activities More shops on the harbour More festivals throughout the summer More shopping opportunities and attractions (sporting events, festivals) Food & beverage Better/more quality dining options (5) Nice high-end restaurant along the water would be great. Food trucks! Increase variety of HEALTHY dining options. Fast food is depressing and reflects the priorities of the community as such. More family friendly restaurants that are not chains or super expensive! More fresh fish options for dining locally.
