Since approximately 35% of attendance at Haulover Beach is local and 65% is from outside the area, the above
|
|
|
|
percentages can be proportionallly combined to come up with an overall percentage to use in predicting
|
|
|
|
attendance at a CO beach at Ft De Soto as compared to attendance figures at Haulover Beach.

Projected Tourist Revenues based on clothing-optional Beach attendance and daily expenditures
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since 65% of attendance at Haulover Beach is from outside their local MSA, assuming the same percentage
|
|
|
|
for a clothing-optional beach at Ft De Soto, the projected tourist attendance would be -
|
|
|
485,000

Discussion: The first two assumed daily expenditures are very conservative. None of the above figures take into account the
|
|
|
multiplier effect of dollars spent in the local economy.
