    Economic Impact Assessment Final Report – 2019 Tim Hortons Brier – Brandon, MB Prepared by: Derek Mager, CSTA EI Consultant Date: August 8, 2019 WHAT IS EI? Economic Impact Assessment (EIA) studies measure the positive change in economic activity resulting from hosting an event in a specific city/town. There are three factors: 1. the spending of out-of-town visitors while they attend the event; 2. the expenditures of the event organizers in producing the event; 3. capital construction costs that are directly attributed to hosting the event. An EI study calculates the amount of new money being spent in the host community as a direct result of hosting the event, and then the impact these new monies have on the regional, provincial and national economy as a whole. HOW DO WE MEASURE EI? The Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance (CSTA) has developed three tools called steam2.0 , steam pro2.0 and fest pro to predict, collect, measure and analyze event data across the three primary channels. steam 2.0 is designed specifically as a predictive model to determine the expected economic impact of hosting a sport event, while steam pro2.0 is utilized to generate the economic impact from actual spending data during the sport event itself. CSTA’s latest tool, called fest pro, is the sister model to steam pro2.0. It measures the economic impact of non-sport events like festivals, exhibitions and fairs using actual spending data collected during the event. Our economic impact services empower event organizers and host cities to accurately assess economic impact resulting from hosting a specific event in a specific location.
