Task la Visitor Profile Study: Commercial Lodging (1-1/1WC./C) • The Commercial Lodging Visitor Profile studies will poll and provide the following information to the County. • The number of visitors staying in commercial lodgings, the related direct expenditures and economic impact, lodging occupancy, average daily rates (ADR), and revenue per available room (RevPAR); • Visitor origin numerosity by region, • Transportation modes including airports of deplanement; • Motivations and purpose of trip, including leisure, individual business, and meeting/conference travel; • Incidence of first time visitation; • Competing Florida destinations considered; • Information used in planning visits to Collier; • Reliance on and usage of the Internet for travel information and/or booking including use of Collier's website. We will also include URLis used to get information and to book travel. Additionally, we will query about respondents' involvement with social media/networking sites and smartphone use; • Length of stay, party size, and party composition; • Satisfaction with trip, word-of-mouth recommendation, and likelihood of repeat visit; • Activities enjoyed in the area, including the Everglades, water tourism, culture, sporting events, etc.; • Average age, age distribution, household income, and occupation categories; • Party budgets by major expenditure categories, including prepaid expenses. The proposed approach provides more accurate and complete estimates of spending because expenditures are itemized within major budget categories to aid respondent recall. Budgets will be further validated by post visitation responses; • Exposure to the area's promotional messages and their impact on destination visitation; • Influential motivators that attract visitors to the Naples, Marco Island, Everglades area; • Primary international origin markets of interest; • Visitor generated input reflecting the destination's brand image (open ended destination attributes); Page I 1 of 16 Agreement#16-6563 "Tourism Research Service? ov.) • Tourism industry employment statistics within Collier County; • Third party reports for economic trends, competitive destination information, and group/meeting impacts. Task lb Visitor Impact Study: In Home (V F/R) In-home visitor profile will be developed by means of a systematic random sample Internet survey of a minimum of 384 Collier County households, with a telephone-based control group. The results of the will be reported in tandem with the Commercial Lodging Visitor Profile data as part of the annual Value of Tourism report. The reports and presentations will detail: • The number of visitors staying with friends and relatives in Collier County; • Estimated expenditures; • In-Home visitor's economic impact on Collier County. Task lc Visitor Impact Study: Regional (Day-Tripper) Throughout a typical year, the County attracts visitors from a regional area within an approximately 50 mile radius of the destination. Such visitors are referred to as "day- trippers." By definition, day-trippers do not spend the night in Collier County. However, day-trippers do use County assets such as public transportation, parks, parking facilities, beaches, causeways, piers, restaurants, retail facilities, entertainment venues, etc. To capture and quantify the numerosity and related value-added of this visitor segment requires an annual Internet-based study conducted with a random cross section of regional households (minimum sample size 384), with a telephone-based control group. The Contractor will obtain a random sample of email addresses of non-Collier residents located within the ZIP codes defined by a 50 mile radius of the County from a highly reputable national sampling company. The results of the Day-Tripper Research will be reported with the annual Value of Tourism findings. The report will detail: • Numerosity; • Estimated expenditures; • Economic impact. Task 2: Hotel Occupancy and Average Daily Rate Study Monthly survey of hotels will be performed to determine Occupancy, ADR, Rev Par, Room Demand, Number of Visitors, Visitor Spending, Visitor Economic Impact, Hotel Room Nights. Other information provided will include: Page 12 of 16 Agreement iffici-6563 "Tourism Research Services" 0 • Location of property; • Property type; • The property's total number of lodging units and number of units in the rental pool for the current research month; • Average occupancy and ADR for the prior month, as well as current occupancy trending; • Average party size and guests per room; • Distribution of guests by geographic origin and purpose of trip (i.e., business, meeting/group, leisure, etc.); • Current levels of reservations and three month forward business level expectations. Task 3: impact of Tourism Study The purpose of the proposed Value of Tourism Study is to develop an up-to-date assessment of the impact of tourism on the economy of Collier County. The Value of Tourism analysis will tie together data from our Visitor Profile (Commercial Lodging, ln-Home/V F/R, and Day-Tripper), Occupancy Research, and salient secondary information (i.e., sales tax collections, resort tax collections, NAICS data on employment and wages, etc.) An annual in-depth Value of Tourism report will be provided based on multiple data inputs that will estimate and detail: • The seasonal and annual volume of overnight visitors to the Naples, Marco Island, Everglades area by geographic origin, nationality, transportation mode, and visit motivation; • The budget of the typical visitor party by key demographic variables, including spending at hotels, restaurants, shopping, attractions, and gas stations; • The proportion of taxable retail sales generated by visitors; • The sales tax, gasoline tax, and local option taxes contributed by visitors and the related savings to Collier County residents; • Additional employment generated by tourism in the Naples, Marco Island, Everglades area by sector of the economy and tourism related wages; • Visitor expenditures by sectors of the economy (i.e., restaurants, hotels/motels, etc.). Task 4. Inquiry Conversion Study Annual report of random sampling of inquiries for information from toll free number and web site, and direct inquiries to ads. The primary purpose of the conversion research is to assess: • How and why visitors decide on their visitation targets; Page 13 of 16 Agreement 016-656 "Tourism Research Services' • Consumer motivations involved in seeking destination information and making an inquiry relative to household travel planning; • The proportion of inquiring consumers familiar with the Naples, Marco Island, Everglades area; • The brand perceptions and location identification current among travel parties who seek information from the CVB; • The proportion of information seekers with prior Collier visitation experience; • The proportion of inquiring parties with firm Naples, Marco Island, Everglades area reservation commitments prior to inquiry; • The proportion of inquirers who at the time of the survey had already completed the planned trip to Collier, their motivations, levels of satisfaction, and planning decisions; • The proportion of inquirers who are still planning to take their trip to Collier at the time of survey contact, their motivations and planning decisions; • The proportion of consumers who did not take a trip to Collier, but visited competing destinations, their motivations, experiences, and planning horizons; • The proportion of people who did not take a trip and are not currently planning to travel; • The role and effectiveness of advertising in directing travelers to the Naples, Marco Island, Everglades area; • Details of other social networking and consumer generated media sources consulted (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, blogs, TripAdvisor, discussion boards, YouTube, etc.); • A profile of competing destinations defined by inquiry respondents, identifying those factors that differentiate these places from the Naples, Marco Island, Everglades area as a destination. Task 5: Focus Group Research Qualitative research on an as needed basis to measure or test the following: • Rate latent consumer motivations and attractability factors that prompt visitation among core markets. • Obtain a measure of images and preferences for the Naples, Marco Island, Everglades area as a destination, vis a vis the destination's primary competitors. • Quantify the visitation generation effect of area attractions and events. • Determine how well advertising and promotional materials "sell" and persuade consumers to visit the destination. • Test and rate the effectiveness of new creative concepts and positioning platforms. • Explore the effectiveness of the destination's brand identity among its core visitor markets. • Test consumers' reactions to websites, their messages and usability. • Assess awareness of the area as a potential venue for group and meeting business in the meeting planner community. Page 14 of 16 0 Agreement#16-6563 "Tourism Research Services" C,"), The Contractor will implement four (4) domestic or international focus groups each year as part of the research contract. The summary reports for these groups will include an executive summary of the findings and detailed tabulations of the results of the sessions. Markets targeted for qualitative research will be determined in consultation with CVB staff.

The County reserves the right to order such services from the Contractor as may be required during the contract period, but does not guarantee any minimum or maximum services to be ordered during the contract period specified. Task assignments shall be at the sole discretion of the County as directed by the Tourism Director.
