DRA services focus on facilities and locations that seek economic or market information for planning, marketing, policy, evaluation and other purposes. Most of our work is associated in some manner with travel, tourism, recreation and/or education. Some projects are at the individual facility or event level, others investigating states or the nation. The following sample of our projects illustrates the range of what we do. Please feel free to contact us for further details.

Feasibility Studies and Master Plans
These projects typically focus on investigating the market and demand for a new or expanded facility and helping the client decide how or whether to proceed. Some projects are primarily economic, others involve design, engineering, marketing and other components.

Destination Area Market Research and Planning
We assist destination areas with studies of market segments, market trends and characteristics, product development and marketing priorities, and strategies for partnerships and revenue generation.

Travel and Tourism Impact Analysis
DRA is one of only a few companies in the US that specializes in analyzing the economic impacts of travel and tourism, with projects at the state, region and community level.

Tourism/Recreation Resource Planning
Natural and cultural resources are the mainstays of recreation and tourism in many locations, in particular rural areas with few urban amenities. We assist communities, regional government units and land management agencies with planning and management projects.
