The Market Index looks at the relationship between website traffic, destination visitation, and visitor spending from those origin markets. Learn more here!
In our experience helping over 160 partners understand their visitor economy, we are continually looking for answers to questions such as, "Who are our visitors?", "Where are our visitors coming from?", and "What are our best origin markets in which to advertise?" This trend of feedback and advising has driven us to provide clearer and faster insights that answer these important questions for destination leaders.
