Social Impact Assessment Tool

Track your progress, benchmark against peers and uncover insights to drive measurable impact for your destination. 

What Is the Social Impact Assessment?

The Social Impact Assessment is a comprehensive tool designed to help destination organizations measure their inclusion efforts, identify opportunities for growth and prioritize actionable strategies.  

  • Evaluate your organization’s practices across key dimensions of social inclusion.
  • Benchmark your performance against industry peers.
  • Use insights to guide decision-making and drive long-term impact. 

Exciting Update for 2025!

Starting in 2025, the Social Impact Assessment will be available for participation year-round.

  • Complete the Assessment at Your Convenience: Participate when it works best for your team. When responding to the assessment, reflect on your organization over the last 12 months.
  • Immediate Results: Access your results and insights as soon as you complete the assessment.
  • Year-Over-Year Comparisons: Your participation will contribute to robust industry benchmarks and enable you to track progress over time.

Destinations participating early in the year help create a stronger benchmark for the entire industry. We encourage you to participate as soon as possible to maximize the value of your insights and contribute to shaping the future of social inclusion in tourism.
