How's business shaping up?

Knowing how other sectors and businesses are performing in the region will dramatically help and influence your business decisions, especially during the current economic downturn. 

We are compiling quick monthly surveys to report on current business levels, trends and predictions for the coming months.

Participation in the survey is free and open to any tourism related business in the South West; it's confidential and only takes a few minutes to complete.

By leaving us your email address when participating, we will send you the report before it is released to the press or published on this site for wider consumption. Note: This is optional.

Due to the relatively small sample achieved in January’s survey, the results should be treated as an indication of likely business levels in the region. The sample size has prevented analysis by either business type or county of origin. We have tried to make the Snapshot as quick and easy to complete as possible and hope to boost numbers from February onwards.We really appreciate the people that have taken the time to participate in the survey and if they can help spread the word amongst businesses in their locality that would be great. The more that take part, the more accurate and more localised the data will become.

Like the new look business snapshot. The weather style symbols make it really easy to get a snapshot of what is being said.How robust is the sample size - it seems quite small given the number of businesses in the area
