RRC Associates 11

12 Visitor Origin Some markets that are typically strong sources of visitors at other resort destinations, that did not show up in significant numbers in the Bend survey, include New York/New Jersey, Illinois, Georgia, and Minnesota. Also Texas and Florida. Whether Bend is just too far for a trip or the issue is lack of awareness, these markets typically represent good sources of relatively frequent, more affluent travelers, which should at least be considered and evaluated for future marketing strategies. RRC Associates 12

13 Demographics Family/Marital Families comprise largest proportion of visitor base (34%), similar to other destinations. Then couples with no children (25% relatively strong), empty-nesters (24%), singles (14% somewhat weaker), and University students (2 percent). With visits off slightly, are younger, lower income, singles w/o kids the group most likely to drop out? RRC Associates 13

14 Demographics Age & Income Average age is 48 vs. 46 other destinations. Web site survey is 47. Median household income was around $87,500. More than one-third of respondents (37 percent) have incomes of $100,000 or more (similar to other destinations), with 10 percent having incomes of $200,000 or more. RRC Associates 14

At least three comparison resorts included for all variables. RRC Associates 15

16 Previous Visits 56% repeat summer visitors; 44% first visit. 72% four or fewer visits, while 14% are relatively frequent, with 11 or more summer visits. OR (77%) & WA (61%) more likely to be repeat visitors (although WA visits still relatively infrequent); visitors from California (45% repeat), other states (40%), and other countries (32%) less likely to be repeat visitors. RRC Associates 16

17 Previous Visits Similar to other summer destinations, pattern of previous visits tends to indicate a developing visitor base, with incidence of previous visits relatively infrequent and first-time visitors moderately high. Market for potential travelers to take a trip to Bend in the future might be considered somewhat untapped, with the pool of potential travelers likely substantial. RRC Associates 17

18 Previous Visits At the same time, working to grow the base of loyal, repeat clientele over the next few years, which we would consider to be a positive development, should be a strategy upon which to build it is much easier and less expensive to retain current customers year after year than it is to develop and nurture new customers.

45 Conclusions and Observations Relatively high intent to return, but additional attention is appropriate as discussed per visitor suggestions for improvement. Extremely high ratings of experience with few negatives tweak with some offerings that are desired to round-out the overall experience. Recognizing challenges of the economy, Bend would seem to be well positioned to take advantage of its favorable standing and relative strengths (outdoor recreation, amenities, things to do, friendly people, the town atmosphere, overall value, etc.) RRC Associates 45

46 Conclusions and Observations Favorable demographic profile characterizes Bend affluent, families, good spend, etc. Converting first-time visitors to loyal, repeat clientele. Increase average length of stay from 3 or 4 nights to 4 or 5 nights. Explore/consider other high value markets (NY/NJ/IL/GA/MN/TX/FL) while continuing to nurture/cater to current key market strengths (CA/WA/OR/ID/AZ) Promoting the Redmond Airport as gateway RRC Associates 46

47 Conclusions and Observations Strength of the web site Opportunities for on-line bookings? Long-term, community might benefit from a Central Reservations System. RRC Associates 47
