Once housed in a tiki-themed trailer painted with a colorful mural
when launched in June 2004, a pilot program proved successful and
the kiosk trailer became a permanent structure dedicated in 2009.
Answering important questions such as, "Where's the
bathroom?" the staff made a list and tabulated the questions asked.
A visitor survey was also performed by students in 2004 and used to
glean information about who is visiting Huntington Beach, where they are
coming from and more. The information was added to another
marketing study performed by a professional marketing company to
identify Huntington Beach in the tourism pie Orange County is comprised
of.

from around the globe visit Surf City, though the majority of
visitors are Californians, themselves, comprising approx. 85% of
