The importance of Data and Dashboards for DMOs

10/12/2020

In an ever-changing world, where borders are closed and re-opened at the drop of a pin, making the most of the pockets of opportunities that arise for DMOs and tourism boards is pivotal. Having an eagle eye and moving stealth-like, ready to pounce at the right time is priceless. So how are the smart organisations able to see these rare moments, when all you see is fuzz and chaos?

Data & Dashboards for Tourism

Ricardo Millet, Director of Strategy & B. I at Visit Valencia had the same dilemma a few years ago. “Two years ago, our team sat down to brainstorm what our key business goals were. We realized we all wished for the same thing: one place online that contains all the data and analytics in some quick and simple dashboards,” says Millet.

In the end Visit Valencia proudly designed eleven dashboards which includes over 4 million data, including data from ForwardKeys, to help tourism companies of Valencia understand key trends at a single click. The birth and creation of their data tool, S.I.T has been a game-changer for their organisation and the many partners who rely on this data for business development.

“Feedback we often hear nowadays is how data has become important for travel and tourism partners. And I think if you are a DMO you must start by asking your local businesses and operators what information they need.  This way you will be able to create very useful dashboards that will make a difference!”
