Economic Impact

- Project impacts: Establish the value of an attraction, property, or new investment to secure government support for a project

Custom Forecast Models
We build forecasting models to predict travel demand for every major global market and traveller segment. These models have established proven track records for accuracy because they are firmly rooted in the economic fundamentals of origin markets along with the changing dynamics of destinations and traveller preferences. The models can be tailored to your project and allow you to identify both short- and long-term growth opportunities.

Policy analysis and market studies
Policy analysis: We assess policies and funding decisions that will impact the visitor economy, including taxes and visa policies.
Market studies: Our ongoing analysis of traveller activity and economic dynamics provides a foundation for project feasibility analysis and market portfolio decisions, supporting resorts, hotels, sports events, museums and DMOs.
