Adventure Park Insider has launched the seventh annual State of the Industry Survey. The survey has been condensed to make it easier to complete and quantify business performance across all branches of the aerial adventure industry, from aerial parks to experiential programs and camps.
The survey helps quantify revenue trends, pricing formats, expenses, staffing numbers and salaries, facility types, activities and amenities offered, and marketing channel use and effectiveness. It also helps gauge how the industry has recovered from the pandemic. As such, it provides an invaluable benchmark for many key measures of business performance.
Adventure Park Insider and ACCT strongly encourage operators to participate in this industry-wide effort, as greater participation will increase the value and precision of the data and provide a clearer overview of the entire industry.
“The importance of documenting data from before, during, and post-pandemic is key to understanding our recovery and trajectory. Measuring our results will help operators and the industry as a whole make better-informed decisions as we look ahead to 2023 and future years as we rebound and rebuild,” said Olivia Rowan, publisher of Adventure Park Insider.
