Secondary data sources like bed tax collections, occupancy and Average Daily Room rates contributed to the analysis. Ultimately, the county was provided 4 quarterly reports, 1 annual report, 4 data dashboards and 2 presentations. The Emerald Coast Tourism Study was commissioned by Peter Mayer Advertising on behalf of the Emerald Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau with the goal of providing in depth details about demographic and economic trends of the Emerald Coast's tourism. Haas Center's survey professionals administered intercept surveys with visitors throughout the defined region over a 12 -month period between March 2014 and February 2015. The survey data was used in conjunction with bed tax collections and county and state data regarding condo and hotel unit availability to estimate the total number of visitors who arrived in the region on a quarterly basis. The Panama City Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Center hired the Haas Center to conduct the Economic Impact Analysis of Tourism in Panama City Beach. The goal of the study was to estimate the economic impact of tourism for the region. Data was provided by the partners of the Panama City Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau, though we also used bed tax collections, retails sales and other secondary data. The Haas Center calculated a spending value for traditional spring break visitors to the area. This value was then removed from an economic model of the Bay County economy, in order to determine the total economic impact, including direct, indirect and induced, of visitor spending in Panama City. In particular, the report highlighted the important contribution that "shoulder season" and spring break tourists contributed to the overall impact. The Haas Center performed a study of businesses and business travelers for the Pensacola International Airport in 2017. The Haas Center collected data for 12 weeks in a multi -modal outreach of online and intercept surveys. In total, more than 14,000 people were contacted online while more than 2,700 were approached in person. Data was provided in user-friendly database that was searchable by various factors so that the Airport could analyze their business case for potential markets and airlines. The Haas Center is currently conducting an update to this study in 2019. Statewide, the Haas Center has conducted studies like an Analysis of the Florida Film and Entertainment Industry. The methodological approach includes in-depth interviews, economic impact analysis and a SWOT analysis. The study looked at the film and entertainment's impact on the economy, both statewide and by region. The study included jobs and establishment estimates, the state's tax payments received by these types of establishments, and a digital media analysis. In addition, impacts were looked at by productions that classified as independent, minority-owned or Hispanic, as well as independent and faith -based productions. The SWOT analysis gave specific assessments about the state of Florida's competitive place in the film industry nationwide. The Recreation, Sports and the Florida Economy study was commissioned by Florida Sports (a segment of Enterprise Florida) with the goal of studying the economic impacts of multiple facets of the state's sports and recreation cluster. The study is broken into the 10 major components of sporting and recreational activities in Florida, including Amateur Sports, Professional Sports, College Sports, Fishing, Hunting & Wildlife, Golf, Sporting Apparel Sales, Parks & Recreation, Page 10 of 11
