Visitor Profile
SHEEPVENTION boosts the Hamilton region's economy by $3 to
$4 million annually, according to visitor and exhibitor surveys, conducted by RMIT University, Hamilton.
The survey also found that Sheepvention
gave people a sense of community and regional identity and
played a major social role.
RMIT Hamilton's Centre for Regional and Rural Development
undertook a detailed survey of visitors to the 25th annual
Sheepvention, to assist the Hamilton Pastoral and Agricultural
Society with its strategic planning for the future. A visitors survey was again conducted at Sheepvention 2008 and the committee are eagerly awaiting these results.
Exhibitor Survey
The Sheepvention Exhibitor Survey Report presented the results
of a postal survey of all 2003
Sheepvention Exhibitors.
The survey provides information on Exhibitor experiences and
areas of the event which are successful and areas in need
of improvement.
Together the two reports (visitors and exhibitors) present
a well-rounded picture of Sheepvention and of the two groups
central to the event's success.
