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 15 people per tour x $10 per person =$1,200 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 15 people per tour x $5 per person fee tour-guide fee =$600 expense. <br />Depending on the specific tour,the expense may be adjusted.The Museum would <br />also incur all processing fees for credit-card transactions. <br />We are also planning a 21-and-over walking tour that will be packaged through a <br />local hotel and restaurant/bar.These would be $25 per person and would include a <br />drink at the end of the tour.The cost model currently looks at approximately $1,250 <br />in gross income.Expenses are being researched as we reach out to partner <br />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 2020. <br />2500 character lirrit <br />Application Questions:Part 4 <br />6|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.
