The world’s leading travel data analytics provider, ForwardKeys, has just released the Events module — adding new capabilities to its Destination Gateway platform designed for DMOs and tourism boards.
The Events module allows users to track events across thousands of global destinations — and access rich data on flight searches, ticket sales, arrivals, and origin markets during the lead-up period.
Using a visual dashboard, this pivotal travel data can be benchmarked against several previous iterations of the same event, allowing users to forecast demand and map changes over time accurately.
In ForwardKeys’ recent publication, the Most Popular City Destinations Report revealed how major events are an effective driver of inbound travel to related destinations. They can act as a catalyst to build visitor loyalty and attract repeat trips.
The new module empowers Destination Gateway users to leverage travel intelligence to capitalise on that opportunity — offering actionable insights into traveller behaviour and intent before and during each event.
