In addition to informing consumers of the importance of vacationing, The National Vacation Center utilizes its custom survey method (CSM®) to help zero in on what people want when taking vacations. Trained NVC survey technicians conduct one-on-one interviews in high traffic locations such as Sporting Goods Stores, Malls, Parks etc. We then network our data with local Chambers of Commerce and those in the Travel & Hospitality Industries. Working with NVC data, these industries can then tailor their vacation packages to better meet the ever changing needs of vacation consumers.
