Every two years, when the Resident Sentiment Survey is released, the Oregon Coast consistently leads the state in participation. This is a reflection of how deeply our communities care about shaping the future of resilient tourism. With your support in 2024, nearly 7,000 Oregonians across the state shared their perspectives.
Feedback helps guide strategies that support responsible travel and resilient communities, ensuring tourism benefits both residents and visitors alike. The survey is short, anonymous, and open until March 31, 2026—and participants are entered to win up to $1,000 in Amazon gift cards.
