Away fromthelr $ace of residence or business and staying overnight in paid acconrrodatims; <br />We esiimate '1 out of 30 visits, or 363, from out of Kiititas County (total 10,910) will <br />stay overnight in paid accommodations. Overnight visits per person spend an <br />average of$227 according to the 2018 Dean Runyan Repori. This equates to <br />$76,272 in spending. Multiplied by 2 nights this upuld equate to $152,544. <br />2500 character lirit <br />Evidence for all questions: <br />1. We add up each visit (taken at the front desk) to the gallery, our events, our <br />classes. This year, in 2019 ta,e modestly project that will total 25,732 visits. We <br />apply a 8% increase for next year and 9e127,276. <br />2. We reviewat our Facebook demographics and Google analytics to undersiand <br />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 perceniages of those from inside the county, out of the county, <br />and out of the staie. The attachment shovrs those numbers. <br />5. We determine an average percentage of those from out of the state and out of <br />ihe county and apply that to the overall number of visits. <br />Out of state average of all traffic is 8% <br />Out of county average of all traffic is 32% <br />6. We multiply our projection of visits by these numbers. Our projection for 2019 is <br />27,276 <br />27,276 x.08= 2182 Out of state visitors <br />27 ,276 x .32 = 8728 Out of county visitors <br />7. We make a modest assumption that 1 out of 30 of these visitors (out of state <br />plus out of county) will pay for lodging for an average of 2 nights. This totals 363. <br />Kittitas County lnfrastructure plan survey stated that 39% of participants of their <br />survey stayed in paid lodging. <br />We have been using the same methodology since 2014 <br />2500 character linit <br />2.To a place filty niles or rore away fromtlreir $ace of residence or business for the day or staying overnight; <br />The Kittitas County visitors, within Washington Slate, minus the 363 paid <br />accommodations totals 10547.
