Tourism Liability Insurance Update - January 2008
View survey results
The issue of affordable liability insurance for tourism activities has always been a primary goal of the North Dakota Nature and Rural Tourism Association. Since 2005, NDNRTA has worked with the North Dakota Insurance Department to research problems and possible solutions for tourism operators in the state. Recently, some promising options have been identified. To determine the best course of action, NDNRTA decided to survey operators to obtain individual feedback. During December 2007, survey forms were mailed to over 500 tourism operators. Results of the survey and additional insurance information was presented at the 6th Annual Nature & Rural Tourism Conference. View the survey results here. NDNRTA is currently discussing the results of the survey and available options with insurance providers in the state.
