(For example, if there was a survey conducted for the prior year, explain the methodology. For the projections, <br />what are they based upon and how is that basis justified?) <br />Prior Year Paid We offer a "Guess the number of corn in the jar" contest that requires guests to <br />Overnight's Stay provide their email, guess, zip code and answer whether or not they stayed the <br />Response* night and for how many night. In addition to the survey, four of the active <br />owner/operators conduct random face-to-face surveys. <br />In 2016, just under 300 guests were surveyed, via one of the two above methods. <br />Of those surveyed, 37% were from outside the county. Furthermore, the results <br />showed that 39% of those (families) from outside the county stayed the night. Of <br />those surveyed, their total room nights were 72 nights. If we applied that same 39% <br />figure to the total estimated out of county families, and assumed one night stay per <br />family, the total would be 468 room nights. We know this group doesn't like crazy <br />high number like that though... So, we have conservatively cut that number in half <br />and have assumed that just 20% of all out of county families will stay just one room <br />night. In doing so, we have estimated that out of 1200 families (3600 people), 240 <br />would stay the night, generating 240 room nights, <br />2500 character lirrit. <br />Prior Year Paid In addition to field above, you nay upload the evidence to support the prior years' room'night information. <br />Overnight Stay Data Corn guess upload.pdf 568.07KB <br />You rray upload up to three single pages (US Letter), of inforrration.
