Prior Year Paid <br />Overnight's Stay <br />Response* <br />Prior Year Paid <br />Overnight Stay Data <br />Our logic is as follows: <br />1. We add up each visit (taken at the front desk) to the gallery, our events, our <br />classes. This year, in 2018, we modestly project that ½ill total 24,945 visits. We <br />apply a 10% increase for next year and get 27,450. <br />2. We review our Facebook demographics and Google analytics of our website to <br />understand where our visitors are from. <br />3. We review our membership addresses and all of our addresses and see where <br />they are from. <br />4. We compare the percentages of those from inside the county, out of the county, <br />and out of the state. The attachment shows those numbers for the past three <br />years. <br />5. We determine an average percentage of those from out of the state and out of <br />the county and apply that to the overall number of visits. <br />Out of state average of mailing list and members is 6% <br />Out of county average of mailing list and members is 22% <br />6. We multiply our projection of visits by these numbers. Our projection for 2019 is <br />27,450 <br />27 450 x .06= 164 7 Out of state visitors <br />27450 x .22 = 6039 Out of county visitors <br />We only account for the projected increase in tourism, not actual projected tourism. <br />27450 x .28 =7686 out of state plus out of county visitors <br />8. We make a modest assumption that 1 out of 30 of these visitors (out of state <br />plus out of county) ½ill pay for lodging. This totals 256. Kittitas County <br />Infrastructure plan survey stated that 39% of participants of their survey stayed in <br />paid lodging. <br />We have been using similar methodology since 2014 to track our attendance. In <br />the past we have only shown the numbers based on the increase in tourism. this <br />year we attempt to represent the total tourism impact. <br />2500 character lirrit <br />In addition to field above, you rmy upload the evidence to support the prior years' room'night inforrmtion. <br />GalleryOneEvidence.pdf 190.8KB <br />You tmy upload up to three single pages (US Letter), of inforrmtion.
