The outcomes from analysis include; forecasting, evidence based decisions, data-driven marketing, personalised visitor info, regional dispersal and how increased spend can be leveraged by our staff, industry and stakeholders in order to meet our priorities and grow the tourism economy. Spending Data is the strongest indicator of the tourism economy’s value, as visitor numbers/footfall can be high but only actual spending tells us if our investments and marketing campaigns are worthwhile.
