QUESTION #8
In the Fiscal Year 2013 budget and subsequent budgets, I allocated millions of additional dollars to your budget. Are you able to assess the marginal benefit of these additional dollars? My goal is to continue to allocate more funding to organizations such as yours that create several new dollars in tax revenue for each tax dollar we invest. Can you track the following metrics, or suggest other data points that would indicate the value of these dollars?
• How many additional room nights are attributable to this new funding?
• How many additional trips are attributable to this new funding?
QS
How many additional room nights are attributable to this new funding?
It's hard to say exactly how many room nights are attributable to this new funding, but we can look at the increase in rooms sold during the campaign periods as a starting point. If we look at the total number of rooms sold for March-September 2013 (the time the ads ran) compared to the same period in 2012, we can see at 1.3 % increase in rooms sold. While this is very high level and includes both business and leisure visitors, it shows the growth of our visitation over these months.
How many additional trips are attributable to this new funding?
If we look at the number of additional trips that are attributable to this new funding, we are looking at the number of additional trips that are attributable to the Spring and Summer campaigns in 2013. This data comes from our ROI study, and includes only those people who were directly affected by the marketing campaigns (and who may not have come to DC without being persuaded by our ads). There were 91,398 trips attributable to the campaigns, and of those, 15,042 were spent in paid accommodations in the District of Columbia.
We can also look at the amount of spending generated by the campaigns (by only the visitors who were influenced by the campaigns, as mentioned above). In 2013, visitors spent $80.15 million as a result of the campaign, and paid $5.3 million in taxes. Not only did these campaigns bring funds back to the District in the form of taxes, but it brought the money by way oflocal businesses, and so helped to boost employment in the District along the way.
QUESTION #9
Please provide a breakdown of tourist and group visits for 2013, and projections for 2014. What measurements are used to track each?
Q9
FY2014 room night goal is to achieve 205,800 total room nights
generated through domestic and international groups as well as sporting events into the District. These will be generated through sales and marketing efforts targeted for all three markets and completing 422 sales and tradeshow appointments and distributing 155 leads throughout 2014. In addition to the marketing efforts we will host 4 7 familiarization tours to support our sales and marketing efforts.
QUESTION #10
How many visitors did we see in 2013? How does this compare with other major metropolitan areas, such as New York? How many visitors are projected for 2014? How many should we see in our city each year?
QlO
How many visitors did we see in 2013? We will not get 2013 visitor numbers until May 2014 at the earliest, but in 2012, DC welcomed 18.5 million visitors (a 3.9% increase over 2011). We are projected to have had 18.8 million visitors for 2013.
How does this compare with other major metropolitan areas, such as New York? All cities define their "visitors" differently (some include the metropolitan area in addition to the city, some include only overnight visitors, some include day visitors from more or less than 50 miles, etc.), so they are not very straightforward to compare to one another. However, we can provide the following numbers for 2012 (to compare to our own 2012 number of 18.5 million):
• Orlando: 57 million (3.3% increase over 2011) • New York City: 52 million (2.1 % increase over 2011) • Chicago: 46.2 million (6.1 % increase over 2011) • Los Angeles: 41.4 million (2.5% increase over 2011) • Las Vegas: 39.7 million (2.1 % increase over 2011) • Philadelphia: 28.8 million (2.1 % increase over 2011) • Boston: 22.5 million • San Francisco: 16.5 million • Miami: 13.9 million (3.5% increase over 2011) • Seattle: I 0.2 million
*Please note, not all cities release their visitation data.
How many visitors are projected for 2014? We are projected to see 19.3 million visitors in 2014.
How many should we see in our city each year? This is not a question that we can answer with the data that we have currently. We are continuing to grow our domestic, international, group, leisure, business and convention visitation, and as hotels continue to open and both domestic and international flight options expand, we look forward to continuing to grow our visitor base for years to come. At this point, we do not predict reaching a plateau in the next few years.
QUESTION #11
To what extent do you view individual tourism as a driver of increased total tourism spending?
Qll
To what extent do you view individual tourism as a driver of increased total tourism spending?
In 2012, business travelers accounted for 45% of our visitors, and were responsible for 62% of visitor spending. Overnight business travelers stayed an average of 3.24 days. Leisure visitors accounted for 55% of our visitors, but were only responsible for 38% of the visitor spending. Overnight leisure travelers stayed an average of2.96 days. While business travelers spend more and stay longer, leisure travelers help to fill the city during weekends and holidays, when fewer business travelers are likely in the city, and help to develop patterns where leisure visitors choose to come back to DC, and encourage meeting planners to hold events in the city in an effort to increase their attendance.
QUESTION #12

Management Letter
January 22, 2013
To the Audit Committee Washington, D.C. Convention and
Tourism Corporation & Affiliate
In planning and performing our audit of the consolidated financial statements of Washington, D.C. Convention and Tourism Corporation & Affiliate (the Organization) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2012, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered the Organization's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate for the circumstances for the purpose pf expressing our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion of the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses and, therefore, there can be no assurance that all such deficiencies have been identified. As a result of our audit, we did not Identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. We would like to provide you with a status update regarding the prior year comment.
CURRENT YEAR COMMENTS
We have no comments that require your attention at this time.
STATUS OF PRIOR YEAR COMMENT
Accounting for Leases (Informational)
Observation: Under a proposed new accounting standard, operating leases, such as for office space, will be required to be recognized as an asset and a liability in the Organization's consolidated financial statements. In other words, most leases will be reported in the financial statements as capital leases.
The new accounting standard aims to end the long-standing practice in generally accepted accounting principles that leaves operating leases off the statement of financial position. Some financial statement users believe that requiring leases to be recognized as capital leases will give a clearer picture of an organization's liabilities. Organizations that lease equipment or office space in buildings instead of buying generally report lower financial leverage. Because implementing this standard could have an adverse affect on the financial covenants required to be calculated under the terms of debt obligations, the project has been one of the standard-setters' most closely watched efforts.
To the Audit Committee January 22, 2013 Page 2 of2
The new accounting standard does not yet have an effective date and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has plans to re-expose the accounting standard for a second time in the near future. The complete exposure draft of Proposed Accounting Standards Update, Leases (Topic 840), can be found on FASB's website at www.fasb.org.
Recommendation: We recommended that the Organization review the proposed accounting standard and consider its potential impact on future consolidated financial statements.
Status: The recommendation will be implemented when the standard is finalized.
CONCLUSION
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Audit Committee, and others within Washington, D.C. Convention and Tourism Corporation & Affiliate and is not inte.nded to be. and should not be used by anyone other than. these specified parties.
QUESTION #18

markets like Baltimore, Indianapolis which both rely heavily on the group meeting market. DC has many market force dynamics that drive business sectors (ie: Congressional Calendar, International Visitation, Leisure and the high demand of In-House policy and government lobbying business).
