Response 2.3:Evidence for all questions:Evidence*1.We add up each visit (taken at the front desk)to the gallery,our events,our classes.This year,in 2019 we modestly project that will total 25,732 visits.We apply a 8%increase for next year and get 27,276. 2.We reviewat our Facebook demographics and Google analytics to understand where our visitors are from. 3.We review our membership addresses and all of our addresses and see where they are from. 4.We compare the percentages of those from inside the county,out of the county, and out of the state.The attachment shows those numbers. 5.We determine an average percentage of those from out of the state and out of the county and apply that to the overall number of visits. Out of state average of all traffic is 8% Out of county average of all traffic is 32% 6.We multiply our projection of visits by these numbers.Our projection for 2019 is 27,276 27,276 x.08=2182 Out of state visitors 27,276 x .32 =8728 Out of county visitors 7.We make a modest assumption that 1 out of 30 of these visitors (out of state plus out of county)will pay for lodging for an average of 2 nights.This totals 363.
