Hiking Survey

Dear Fellow Hikers,

An estimated 60% of the 1000+ hiking trails in South Africa no longer comply with normal hiking requirements due to challenges such as poor accommodation, safety issues, general lack of maintenance of trails, environmental degradation and inadequate water supply.

Being a hiker myself, these issues are of great concern to me personally and has inspired me to conduct a study to better understand hikers’ needs around an accreditation system for trails. I am a registered Masters student at the University of Pretoria.

The results of the survey would be highly beneficial to the hiking community by providing support for the improvement in the quality of trails as well as provide insight to create further growth opportunities in hiking tourism.

In order to meet these objectives, I need you to provide me your opinion by answering a web-based/online questionnaire that shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to complete.

I thank in advance for your support!
