Brown County Destination Research
SMARI / 360 Group
A new concert hall is currently being constructed in Nashville, IN. As such, the need exists to assess the potential interest in this entertainment venue, along with naming options and supporting descriptors among targeted consumers in Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Louisville.
Furthermore, this research will aim to uncover the potential tourism and travel implications for Brown County as a result of this new concert hall (i.e., will consumers stay overnight in Brown County when visiting this venue or return home).
