Pr ior Year* 216 Projected* 240 Paid Overnights' Data Support Explain how the room nights data above from the prior year vvas collected and how the projection for the next year is derived. (For example , if there vvas a survey conducted for the prior year, explain the methodology. For the projections, what are they based upon and how is that basis justified?) Prior Year Paid Overn ight's Stay Response* Prior Year Paid Overnight Stay Data We offer a "Guess the number of corn in the jar" contest that requires guests to provide their email, guess, zip code and answer whether or not they stayed the night and for how many night. In addition to the survey, four of the active owner/operators conduct random face-to-face surveys. In 2016, just under 300 guests were surveyed , via one of the t'M'.l above methods . Of those surveyed, 37 % were from outside the county. Furthermore , the results showed that 39% of those (families) from outside the county stayed the night. Of those surveyed, their total room nights were 72 nights. If \oV8 applied that same 39% figure to the total estimated out of county families , and assumed one night stay per family, the total 'M'.luld be 468 room nights. We know this group doesn't like crazy high number like that though ... So , we have conservatively cut that number in half and have assumed that just 20% of all out of county families 1/1111 stay just one room night. In doing so, we have estimated that out of 1200 families (3600 people), 240 V10uld stay the night, generating 240 room nights. 2500 character lirrit. h addition to field above, you rray upload the evidence to support the prior years' roorrinight inforrration .
