LEXINGTON, Ky. — VisitLEX is asking Fayette County residents to weigh in on the future of tourism in Lexington through a new Resident Sentiment Survey running through September 23, according to reporting by The Lane Report.
The survey aims to measure how local residents view tourism and its impact on the community, with results intended to guide future tourism development while maintaining quality of life for residents. VisitLEX, the local convention and visitors bureau established in 1974, is funded by room taxes charged to hotel and motel visitors and uses those revenues to promote tourism and convention activities.
The survey is available in both English and Spanish, expanding opportunities for community participation. The confidential questionnaire takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and is open to anyone 18 or older living in Fayette County. Participants can enter a drawing for prizes, with five selected to receive $100 gift cards to local businesses and 10 receiving $50 gift cards to the Lexington Visitors Center.
Information gathered will be compiled into a Resident Sentiment Report comparing Lexington resident responses with regional and national benchmarks from a National Resident Sentiment study. VisitLEX is encouraging local businesses, organizations and community groups to share the survey through newsletters, email, social media and other communications to reach a broad cross-section of residents.
Tourism plays a significant economic role in Lexington, generating $1.7 billion in economic impact in 2024, the highest ever recorded. The resident survey reflects VisitLEX’s commitment to ensuring that people who live in Lexington have a voice in shaping the city’s tourism future, balancing visitor economy growth with community interests.
