8. We are interested to find out about the destinations that you take your customers to and how frequently you go there. For each of the locations listed, use the first column to allocate one of the following categories:

V = Visit.
This is a destination at which your vessel stops and passengers go ashore or conduct water based activities e.g. snorkelling. This does not include the beginning and end points of your journey.

S= Stopover.
This is a destination where your vehicle vessel or tour stops and moors/anchors but passengers do not leave the vessel/ watercraft.

N = Do not visit or stopover.
In the second column, document how frequently you go there.

In the third and fourth columns, we would like to understand which destinations you would like to visit in the future and how often – it may be that there are current barriers which will be explored in Question 9.

NOTE: If you have a hire service, answer this question to the best of your knowledge.
