Abstract
<p>Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) are associations of property owners and tenants within a defined area who undertake initiatives to create successful business environments and attract people to them. This fundamental function shares similarities with the idea of a tourism destination, which manages the quality of the destination and attracts visitors to it. Despite this natural connectivity, current literature has yet to explore the relationship. BIAs may benefit from the application of a destination mindset to the BIA model to strategically attract and engage visitors, particularly as a long-term COVID-19 recovery strategy. This exploratory study involved a thematic analysis of 32 semi-structured interviews with Canadian BIA representatives. Findings demonstrate that BIAs are important actors in local visitor economy development and engagement, and that the visitor economy is important for BIAs in achieving their objectives. This thesis offers 13 recommendations for BIAs to consider to more effectively engage the visitor economy.</p>

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
