A Review of Tourism In Siora - Sal - 06-20-2017
Hello and welcome to the thread through which we will determine the tourism hot spots in Siora!
This will consist of a two-step process and will not be perfect. Results need not be taken as the final authority on the state of tourism in all nations. However, by the end of this process, forum members should have a better grasp on a few things regarding their own nation and their neighbor's nations when it comes to tourism, including: the public's view of various nations as travel destinations, the types of tourist destinations available in the Sioran nations, and how much of a role tourism is likely to play in your nation's economy.
A quick QnA:
Q: Why tho?
A: Because many of us boast that our nations are the hottest of hot spots while, in reality, we have never really had this discussion to set the record straight. And being a community, who better to decide if your nation is actually all that than your neighbors?
Q: Are these answers permanent?
A: No. Nations can develop or crumble over time, and so this survey may go out for updates periodically. Ten in-character years is probably the increment we're looking at.
Q: Do I have to participate?
A: No, but know that your nation isn't going to be classified very highly if you do not participate.
Q: Why aren't you asking any questions about how much revenue my nation earns from tourism?
A: Because revenue from tourism and numbers of tourists per year, and all that quantitative information are the types of things that may be inferred after this review is completed. It's recommended - but not required - that you use these results to adjust your statistics as necessary.
Q: This doesn't really seem objective.
A: First, that's not a question. Second, no, it's not. It's not intended to be. "Best tourism destination" is an opinion. In the same way that it's completely subjective as to why people like to visit certain kinds of destinations, this is a completely subjective process.
Step 1: Qualitative Survey
The first of the two steps involves a qualitative look at what tourism is like in the various nations of Siora. There is a comprehensive introduction within the survey itself, so please read that for more information.
If you have any questions or anything seems to not be working, please let me know in this thread. If you're having the issue, chances are someone else is having it, too, and I'd rather just answer it for everyone at one time.
If you want to participate, please have all surveys completed no later than August 31.
You are more than welcome to complete this survey for as many nations as you control.

Step 2: Public Ranking Survey

Guys. Please follow the example for the last section. If you just give me a one word response - especially if it's just a single proper noun - I don't know what it is. Imagine if you'd never heard of Applebees. Someone asks you to describe it, and all you say is "you know...Applebees!" What?? Apples that are also bees? Makes no sense, mates; you need to say it's a family-style restaurant and sports bar. At least let me know if it's a beach, a museum, a historic district in a town, whatever. "Applebees National Forest" is sufficient because I can infer that people go hiking and camping there, but if you have a rare animal found only there, like a bee which looks like an apple, probably mention it. You're attempting to wow us.
Also, if you did not give yourself a ranking lower than, say, a 7 for the types of destinations available, or gave yourself more than six 9s/8s, there is a good likelihood I'm going to trim off some points. Unless it's Nyland, maybe, because that's probably the only country massive enough with enough little territories to offer a high quality experience in literally everything.
If you want to redo your answers, please resubmit with the country name marked "<Country Name> Resubmission", or something similar. I'll delete your first set of answers. Sal absolves you of all sins.

Heyo, one month to go!
I'm going to be gone some this month, but I'll try to get back to anyone who had questions.

Can we have a thing like specialisms. Like for instance 20%+ of tourists to goldecia and strathae are lgbt for example.
RE: A Review of Tourism In Siora - Sal - 08-03-2017
This is a qualitative survey. Nothing about quantities will be considered. If you have special LGBT attractions, like pride parades, that are what your nation is well known for, you should have mentioned that in the free text sections.
