In 2011 VisitScotland commissioned research to learn more about consumer attitudes to wind farms and their effect on tourism.
2,000 interviews were undertaken with a nationally representative UK sample with a further 1,000 interviews conducted with a Scotland representative sample (both samples being asked very similar questions).
UK respondents were asked whether the presence of a wind farm would affect their decision about where to visit or where to stay on a UK holiday or short break. 80% stated their decision would not be affected. For the Scotland residents, 83% stated their decision would not be affected by the presence of a wind farm.
Respondents were also asked a series of 10 attitude statements about wind farms in the UK or in Scotland, and indicated the extent to which they agreed or disagreed on a 5 point scale from ‘Disagree Strongly’ to ‘Agree Strongly’.
