messaging to travelers that are considering visiting Roslyn. Roslyn draws visitation
frorn the history buff to the recreationist. and we work to educate them on why to
visit our downtown core and beyond, and how to respectfully do so. lf the Roslyn
Downtown Association uses a conservative average annual nunrber of visitors al
215 per week (more during peak season. less during slow season) to acconrmodate
for an average throughout the year and calculates at 25% staying overnight {30% of
travelers are leisure travelers perthe tourism office). 215 travelers x 23% (increase

Kleenex, and even a CDC recommendations inserl that read. "Wear a Mask, Wash
Your Hands, (don't touch your face)." We partnered with the KC Chamber sharing
both county and state covid Protocols information on health and safety for snrall
businesses. as well as grant opportunities to help therr financially survive. We
helped them adapt io new regulations, offering creative ways to promote take out for
restaurants, and were the local go-to resource for the industry standards on a local
and global level.
We created our first ever Historic "Past-Port" brochure with stories of Roslyn,s
buildings and how they have served our community in the past, provided more
visitor information on our new website, and finally started continuously posting on
social media, engaging our busrness community and spreading the word of the good
work they do. We partnered with Suncadra to produce the Roslyn Sunday market.
which quickly became one of the hottest tourist aciivities of the Summer.
These efforts display the adaptation. hard work. and leaclership that the RDA
provides for the people of our small conrmunity. With the help of the Chamber. we
have been a trusted resource for businesses and partners to navigate this
challenging period and survive- we are so thankful for the funding opportunrties we
have received. and for our neighbors and partners for their strength during this time.

Although we may not get 100% response with an informal survey, we still prefer this
method due to the relationship of the consumer and our volunteers. By doing an
informal survey we keep the feeling of old fashion sinrple small town flavor and are
not abrasive in getting the information, but still are able to get a measurable look into
the data on our attendees.

"Retail- Leakaqe" is a supply and demand study that refersto the difference between the retail expenditures of residents 1i-ving in a particulargeography and the sales produced by stores located in the same geography.

Leakage transfates directly to demand.The data presented in this section comes from Environics Analytics, a national retailmarketing service used by town planners, retail & restaurant site planners, and nationalchains for their market research.
