Feasibility Assessment
The process of determining whether a survey project is feasible involves determining whether there are other ways to get the
information you want without conducting a formal visitor survey (a Research Inventory Assessment) and if not, examining the
project management resources (time, money, personnel) that you have available to undertake a new project.
Research Inventory Assessment
Once you know what the objectives of your research are, you should thoroughly investigate existing resources that might meet your needs.
• Is there another way of getting to this information?
• Review newspaper articles, trade magazines, and internet resources
• Is there existing information on visitors we can use?
• Does this information exist for nearby communities or at the county level?
• If you have information but it does not specifically address your needs, what questions need to be asked to specifically
address what you want to know?
