Wild About Montserrat

Need a new travel destination?  Well, travelers are wild about Montserrat, according to a recent survey.

Some nine out of ten overnight visitors to Montserrat said they would definitely return to the island, during a visitor exit survey conducted this past year.

Created by the Montserrat Tourist Board, the survey was conducted from June 2009 to May 2010 at the John A. Osborne Airport and the Ferry Port in Little Bay, the island’s exit points.

Visitors were asked to give feedback and rate various tourism products on the island including places of interest, activities, accommodation and travel experience.

The results showed 89% of visitors surveyed said they would definitely return to Montserrat and 90.4% said they would recommend the island as a place to visit.  Those surveyed gave the warmth and friendliness of the people the highest score and volcano watching, hiking and festivals the highest ratings in the activities section.
