Connecting the critical points.

To tell the story, we help find the meaning behind the data.

Our approach to research is that in order for the results to be relevant, it is necessary to make the connections that will lead to deeper insights. Data points do not exist in isolation, and it is incumbent upon the researcher to identify the connections that are most meaningful and, importantly, help to lead the development of business strategy.

We use an exploratory analytical approach to help make these connections and uncover the insights and, ultimately, implications of these connections.

2What is market research?

Market research is the process of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting information about a market, including information about the target audience, competitors, and the industry as a whole. It helps businesses make informed decisions by providing insights into market trends, customer preferences, and potential opportunities and threats.

3Why is market research important?

Market research is crucial because it helps businesses understand their market environment, identify opportunities and challenges, make data-driven decisions, and develop effective marketing strategies. It reduces the risk of business failure by providing valuable insights that guide strategic planning and operational decisions.

4What is primary research?

Primary research involves collecting original data directly from sources rather than relying on existing data. This can include surveys, interviews, focus groups, observations, and experiments. Primary research provides specific, relevant, and up-to-date information tailored to the researcher’s needs.

5What are the advantages of primary research?

Primary research offers several benefits, including the ability to gather tailored data specific to the researcher’s objectives, the opportunity to explore new and emerging trends, and the flexibility to design studies that address specific questions and hypotheses.

6What is outdoor hospitality?

Outdoor hospitality is distinguished by its accommodations (e.g., tents, RVs, cabins, or glamping structures), venue types (e.g., campgrounds and outdoor resorts), proximity to outdoor recreation, and an emphasis on facilitating guest interaction and outdoor experiences (e.g., by providing communal fireside seating). What unifies these elements is the incorporation of staff, guides, or experts who are, at the very least, available for assistance and guidance, or actively engaged in delivering support, information, instruction, and guidance.

7Why is outdoor hospitality growing in popularity?

Outdoor hospitality is becoming more popular due to increasing interest in nature-based tourism, the desire for unique and memorable travel experiences, and the appeal of sustainable and eco-friendly accommodations. It offers a way to disconnect from daily life and reconnect with nature.

8What is a feasibility report?

A feasibility report assesses the practicality and potential success of a proposed project or business idea. It includes an analysis of technical, economic, legal, operational, and scheduling aspects to determine whether the project is viable and worth pursuing.

9What are the key components of a feasibility report?

A feasibility report typically includes an executive summary, project description, market analysis, financial projections, risk assessment, and recommendations. It provides a comprehensive evaluation to help stakeholders make informed decisions about proceeding with the project.
