Monthly Research Summary - Tourism Intelligence Reports

To keep a regular snapshot of how York’s tourism sector is performing, we collect monthly data including:

  • Hotel and Airbnb occupancy
  • Average room rates
  • Average revenue rates
  • Visits to big and small attractions
  • Visits to attraction with a York Pass
  • Sessions on visityork.org
  • Impressions and new followers on Visit York social media channels
  • City centre footfall
  • Visitor Information Centre footfall

Not only does this vital market intelligence track the health of tourism in the city and provide a timely snapshot of performance of the sector, but it helps you, as a member or partner of Visit York, to benchmark your own business performance.

Monthly data is also available to all Visit York members via T-Stats. For more information on T-Stats, please contact Helen Wilkinson, Research & Insight Specialist, email: helen.wilkinson@makeityork.com.
