The QSP Impact Study provides a rigorous assessment of the economic, social, territorial and reputational impact of events, supporting promoters, public authorities and sponsors in objectively demonstrating the value generated by their initiatives.
In a context where events play an increasingly important role in the dynamization of territories, sectors and local and regional economies, this study offers a solid evidence base to justify investments, support strategic decisions and communicate results credibly to stakeholders, funders and institutional entities.
QSP’s approach combines quantitative and qualitative methodologies, tailored to the nature and scale of each event, allowing the measurement of indicators such as:
- Direct, indirect and induced economic impact
- Attendance, profile and behavior of participants
- Effects on the local and regional economy (tourism, hospitality, retail, services)
- Social and cultural impact of the event on the territory
- Strengthening of the image, awareness and attractiveness of the region or sector
Impact studies are particularly relevant for high-visibility events, fairs, congresses, festivals and flagship initiatives, as a way of evidencing their contribution to economic development and to the valorization of the territories in which they take place.
