Situation
Starting a new business or expanding on an existing one can be difficult, and you want to ensure this is a promising idea before investing.?You do not just want to trust your “gut feeling.” You need to have data to validate some of the things you have casually observed and to ensure that you are making research-based decisions.
You have always been interested in the power of team sports to engage people and create community. Over the COVID-19 pandemic, you have seen how people had to isolate themselves in their homes and missed sharing time for recreation with others. With the COVID-19 pandemic mostly behind and the discontinuation of social distancing and mandatory masking, people are returning to sports Centers.
Given this, you are now considering investing in the development of sport-related revenue opportunities in your community and are starting to explore this with some exploratory research and then some observation on-site.
Please choose one of the following sports for your research:
Fat-biking
Curling
Indoor golf
Bowling
Snowshoeing
Skiing (x-country)
Ice Fishing
Indoor Skatepark (skateboarding)
