Follow these steps to understand your Visitor Profile: 

 

Step 1: Use the date filter at the top to select what timeframe you would like a visitor profile for. If you want to narrow down to a specific area within your destination, choose from the county or city filter.

Pro-tip: Start with something more high-level like "Last 12 months" and all counties and cities-- This means you have more data in your sample size!

Step 2: Evaluate the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the profile of your visitor. These tell you some overall numbers about your visitors during this timeframe. The "Observations" KPI shows what percent of the observations (pings of data) from devices (such as phones) in your destination came from visitors (as opposed to residents). The "Spend" KPI shows what percent of all the spending in your destination on key tourism-related categories came from visitors. "Average Spend" shows the average transaction amount by visitors in tourism-related categories.
