	Governments at all levels are reevaluating the services they provide as the costs continue to rise. Revenue opportunities, in the context of these demands, must constantly be explored and sometimes redirected. Some communities face the need to revitalize their overall economic potential while others confront the fiscal impacts of existing and future development projects. Whatever their condition, all governments are being challenged to identify funding sources which permit sound economic growth and development to occur.

The questions and challenges facing our clients are neither exclusively public nor private in their orientation and require the services of a firm sensitive to the needs of both the political and real estate communities.

Tourism, Attraction and Entertainment Services

Headquartered in Orlando, RERC is located in one of the world's greatest tourism centers, enabling the firm to build special expertise in the leisure and entertainment industries. Although both Disney and Universal studios have been our clients, we have been engaged by other private companies, as well as non-profit bodies, to test or refine their concepts and to consider smaller or moderate sized attractions. The firm’s work is associated with museums, attractions, special exhibitions, and entertainment or themed venues.

	RERC has worked with large and small communities to support their planning of major venues, including single or limited purpose facilities oriented to professional or college sports as well as meetings, exhibitions, conferences, and special community activities. With concerns about costs and competition for resources this work typically addresses not only feasibility but capitalization analysis and economic impact analysis of events or teams tied to these facilities.

	With demands for public/private partnerships and their capitalization needs requiring greater scrutiny by the public debt markets, RERC has emerged as one of the leaders in the financial industry consistently demonstrating its capacity to grasp key concepts, document speculative revenue streams, maintain independence, and adhere to difficult scheduling demands. This field has become increasingly complex and sophisticated requiring knowledge and application of assessments, fees, property taxes, income taxes and sales taxes to secure debt instruments. RERC’s ability to function in this area is demonstrated by the many older and emerging facilities which have been able to leverage the public markets with our guidance and counsel.
