Future Plans* The Kittitas County Historical Museum has plans to make this program self- <br />sustaining. <br />Due to the success of the advertising, the Museum's Board of Directors has <br />become educated about the rate of return of the advertising investment and <br />maintains a budget line of $2,500 to match any advertising or reach alternative <br />markets. <br />We have received an increased rate of donations to the museum as a result of <br />increased visitation to the museum, which we attribute to the current advertising <br />campaign. We have also increased our membership program in which the fees go <br />towards funding events, activities, and programs. <br />Walking Tours: <br />With the success of the walking tour program, we are developing the tour program <br />into some free tour opportunities while some would be at cost. <br />Anticipated models forecast offer the following for planned income and expense: <br />Tour projected gross income: <br />8 tours x 25 people per tour x $10 per person= $2,000 income. This may be <br />adjusted depending on specific tour or event but reflects an average offering. <br />Tour projected expense: <br />8 tours x 25 people per tour x $7 per person fee tour-guide fee= $1,400 expense. <br />Depending on the specific tour, the expense may be less. The Museum would also <br />incur all processing fees for credit-card transactions. <br />We are also anticipating to offer a 21-and-over walking tour that will be packaged <br />through a local hotel and restaurant/bar. These would be $25 per person and <br />would include a drink at the end of the tour. The cost model currently looks at <br />approximately $1,250 in gross income. Expenses are being researched as we <br />reach out to partner organizations and hotels. <br />Additional tours are available at a cost of $10 per person with a minimum of 5 <br />people, and would have reflective expenses as listed above. We anticipate at least <br />2 private tours in 2018. <br />2500 character linit <br />Application Questions: Part 4 <br />61 Additional Information <br />Provide any additional information which will assist the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee in evaluating your <br />project and its benefit to tourism. <br />Additional Information 2500 character linit <br />Supporting Documents You rray upload any supporting docull"8nts such as graphs, irmges, diagram;, rmrketing rraterials, etc. <br />Grant1 .pdf 102.58KB <br />You are allowed to subrrit up to 3 single page (LB Letter) docurrents in JR3, RF or TIFFforrmt <br />71 Previous Lodging Tax Grant Information <br />Previous Years H:ls your event received Lodging Tax funds in previous years? <br />Awarded Lodging Tax O No, this event/project has not previously received Lodging Tax Funding . <br />Grants* 0 Yes, 1 year previous <br />O Yes, 2 years previous <br />€ Yes, 3 or more years previous
