2011 Direct Economic Impact Results EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, METHODOLOGY & DATA Bravo retained BBC Research & Consulting to estimate the direct economic impact created by the 2011 Festival
on Eagle County. The Festival and BBC created an intercept survey for both Festival attendees and orchestra members that was administered at various Bravo concerts at the Amphitheater,
Vail Mountain School, Vilar Performing Arts Center, Cordillera and Gypsum. Both paper and online surveys were administered with more than 800 surveys completed. Demographics and spending
data from audience and orchestra members were gathered from the survey. The total direct economic impact that Bravo had on Eagle County includes the direct local spending by Festival
attendees and orchestra members and the associated tax revenue. These estimates do not include indirect and induced impact from this economic activity and the model includes conservative
estimates of spending. The most critical factors influencing the economic benefit are the number of attendees; their length of stay; and their food and beverage, lodging, shopping and
activities expenditures. BBC aggregated personal responses from the surveys and relied on total concert attendance and orchestra data provided by Bravo. This analysis distinguishes between
Festival attendees that live in the Valley and those that traveled from outside the region and between visitors to Eagle County that listed Bravo as a primary reason for their visit
and those that did not. BBC created an economic impact model that identifies spending in Eagle County and in individual communities within Eagle County by audience and orchestra members.
The pages in this presentation highlight results from the survey and the economic impact the Festival has on the Town of Vail and Eagle County.
