PAGET.WEjN7TT.TWO LODA Estimates Efforts Along Promotional Lines Should Bring $375,OOO The Directors of the Lake Ontario Development Associa- tion met in Peterborough, re- cently, at which time a report of a survey taken by the As- sociation of persons enquiring at the Lake Ontario Develop- ment Association's booth at the Cleveland Sportsmen's Show indicated excellent r e s ults. These results of the L.O.D.A. promotion speak for themselves. It was found that from the 98 persons answering the Question- naire to date, approximately 50% (46) of them came to the Lake Ontario Region during 1958. 75% (73) visited Ontario (including LODA) and 18 of those who did not visit Ontario during 1958 plan to do so in 1959. The average number in each enquiry or in each group was 4, corresponding closely with the survey recently taken by the Ontario Department of Travel and Publicity, and each group spent a little over fine days (average) in the Pegion. The main interests of these groups as checked on the survey were: Fishing - 70; Sightseeing - 31; Interest in Historical Sites - 10; Camping - 8, Hunting - 4; Visiting Frienis and Relatives - 4. It was quite apparent that mnost (65) were satisfied with their accommodation. Some of- fered suggestions and improve- ments but generally the re- marks were good. To base thesr- findings on a survey of the Department of Travel and Publicity, and judg- ing that at least 50% of our en- quiries (that is, only the per- sons who had written out re- quests for information and res- ervations at our booth) came toi our region, the results of our promotions would sum up as follows: 6,000 (over)e enquiries at four Sports Shows. 4,500 visited Ontario (could have toured our Area in part). 3,000 groups, or at least 12,000 persons, visited the region re- presented by L.O.D.A. $500,000.00, or more than haîf, a million dollars in all, xvas spent in our Area. Broken down as follows: (av- erage)- Food, restaurants and dining- rooms, $96,000 - 19.2%, Retail purchases and take-home gifts, $95,000 - 19%; Accommodation (with and without meals) $154,000 - 30.8%v: Entertainment, etc., $63,500 - 12.75,; Automobile expenses, $57,500 - 1.5%7; Mis- cellaneous (including angling licences, boat rentals, guides, etc.), $34,000 - 06.8%. Promotion and advcrtising is most often very hard to deter- mine in concrete results. While flot totally accurate. (as it cannot be determined exactly how many other persons who did not fi out enquiry cards at our hooth and yet vîsited our Region) this survey then can be taken as a low estimate for the amount of dollars hrought in from the As- sociation's efforts at only four Sports Shows, basing it on our 4 TEE eUAz)tàx B TATraSmA, EoywMA1qVflLEONTÀEXO(,1\. Cleveland Show returns. The dollars are "found money". They :uy eggs, butter, bacon, meat, milk and many other foods. They buy china, blankets, souvenirs, candy, gum,: fishing lures, beverages. Theyý buy lumber, roofing, plaster,l bathtubs, boats, motors, stoves, refrigerators,. television sets, radios, sheets, silverware, and many other supplies and equip- ment required for motels, re- sorts, etc. They pay wages to farmers, carpenters, guides, service station operators, elec- tricians, and yes, they even build factories. Tot:rist dollars buy gas, oiù, tires, carburetors. This is one of our largest industries in L.O.D.A. Our promotion at three Sportsmens Shows in 1959 should bring an additional $375,- 000.00 of "Found Money" to our Region.
