Our recent work
Our goal is to establish enduring partnerships with destinations, businesses, and cultural organisations in order to provide valuable insights and evidence-based recommendations. With our extensive knowledge and experience in managing confidence monitors, consumer, business, and opinion surveys, we are well-equipped to offer high-quality services.
We are proud to be recognised as a leading provider of tourism modelling research using the Cambridge Model. As licensed owners, we have produced numerous reports for destinations throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man.
Our research services are designed to provide you with valuable insights into the most current trends in the tourism industry. These include factors such as cost of living, well-being, sustainability, accessibility, and perceptions of your destination.
The results of our research are frequently used as a foundation for policy documents, economic, tourism, and cultural strategies, as well as to strengthen funding proposals and to inform marketing campaigns.
Products and Services
We specialise in economic impact modelling and visitor impact evaluation. We provide detailed reports on the volume and value of tourism at the local level. Our expertise also includes appraising the visitor impacts of new and existing tourism initiatives, marketing campaigns, and events.
In addition to economic impact modelling, we focus on audience research. Our services range from assessing visitor satisfaction to identifying and segmenting target markets, both visitors and non-visitors. We also delve into understanding perceptions of your area as a visitor destination, pinpointing what deters some people from visiting and exploring strategies to change their minds.
