 The EPIC Program: Economic Performance Indicators for Whistler

EPIC has been created as an economic indicator program for Whistler providing information on the ongoing business activity.

The need for this program has been identified for many years. Business owners are given the opportunity to receive an overview of the overall activity in the resort. They are also able to compare changes in their gross revenues to the sector they belong to.

The program launched in July 2008.  Participating businesses receive a survey link with 6 simple questions: 

Compared to the same month last year, did your revenues:
1. Go up or down?
2. By what percentage?

Year to date (since January 2008),
3. Did your revenues go up or down?
4. By what percentage?

5. Why? What was different this month?

6.To which sector do you belong? (Food & Beverage, Recreation, Retail or Transportation)

Survey results are published in the EPIC report, available online in the Members Only section. The program is confidential.
