Ready to sign on for the industry standard of calculating the economic impact of your events? Destination organizations that are members of Destinations International are invited to license one or multiple calculator modules at an annual rate determined by the organization's annual operating budget.
Why Use the Event Impact Calculator?
"We use the direct visitor spend numbers that come out of the EIC on a very regular basis. Clients request it to understand the full impact of their groups, we report it out to our community in various media outlets and we provide the data to our stakeholders to help paint the full picture of our organization's impact."
