Our services have been used by over 100 events in NSW and Qld, and we have many references and testimonials to share, just like this;
This year I had the survey results collated by Destination Research & Development. We did the surveys (they suggested some questions) and I mailed them to them to collate. I would recommend other groups in the area that are managing events to seriously look at utilising this service in the future. I think it gives more weight to the results when they are independently collated and reported. There is no doubt that it assists with funding submissions when you have a professional report backing up the application.

We’re very happy with the results from the research and the way it was conducted thank you. This sort of info is a very valuable tool when approaching sponsors and looking at the festival in 2012.

Suzie Coulston – Community Economic Development Manager, NSW Department of Industry and Investment.
The 2011 Henry Lawson Festival Committee used modern event management practice and government funding to update a long running,but tired festival, to one that has now become more vibrant and appeals to a much wider audience. As part of this change process it was important to use quality market research to measure the success of this event. Destination Research developed a user friendly visitor survey,collated the results and prepared a quality report which clearly sets out for the committee,a range of information which can be used as a base for future festival planning. I would highly recommend this company to any event organisation.
Gai Lander – President, Henry Lawson Festival 2011
Event research has given us tools to plan for the future, the independent nature of the research has greatly assisted with seeking sponsorship and grants.
