Southeast Volusia’s Residents Survey is Now Available. Your Voice Matters.

The Southeast Volusia Advertising Authority (doing business as the New Smyrna Beach Area Visitors Bureau) is embarking on a review of the long-term 2023-2033 Destination Master Plan previously developed for the community.

In updating this plan, it is important for all voices to be heard, including the voices of our residents. We know that tourism development can have both positive and negative implications for the quality of life of residents. We believe that making Southeast Volusia a better place to live and work will also make it a more appealing place to visit.

We would sincerely appreciate your time to complete a quick survey, which will take approximately 15 minutes. Survey responses are anonymous, and your email will not be used for any other purposes. The survey closes on October 31, 2025.

Welcome to Southeast Volusia’s Community website! A community-centric resource developed to deepen your connection with the New Smyrna Beach Area Destination Management Organization (DMO) and the visitor economy.

This site is more than just an invitation; it's a collaboration, encouraging our residents to actively partner with us in initiatives such as Sustainable Tourism and the Destination Ambassador Program. In addition to these engaging opportunities, we've enriched the site with comprehensive resources highlighting the local community.

Your involvement is key to our shared success, fostering a sustainable, vibrant tourism culture and the place we all call home. Join us in this dynamic journey to celebrate and preserve the unique charm of the New Smyrna Beach Area.
