The evolving role of the DMO

With the role of the destination marketing organisation (DMO) evolving to include destination management, DMOs are having to consider more than just how best to promote their brand. Today, DMOs must balance the needs of tourists with those of locals while managing the economic, social and environmental impact of inbound travel. Against this background, access to reliable and up-to-date DMO tourism data is more crucial than ever before.

Predicting traveller behaviour through science

ForwardKeys delivers its DMO tourism data through a variety of products – from easy-to-use dashboards like Destination Gateway to Licensed Datasets and an API connection via which users can inject our data into their own tools.

Through Destination Gateway, users can optimise their marketing campaigns based on the seasonality and profiles of their key audiences and monitor the performance of these campaigns as reflected by tourist arrivals. They can also track the recovery of their destination from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and, with insight into their destination’s connectivity, enter route negotiations with confidence.

Meanwhile, users of Licensed Datasets and API can integrate ForwardKeys data into their own custom dashboards, which they can then share with tourism partners and travel-dependent businesses at their destination, helping them to make the most of inbound tourism and maximise success.

What’s more, ForwardKeys is working on functionality for monitoring tourists at every step of their journey – covering their movements at the destination and their economic, social and environmental impact.
