Travel spending in cities within the experience economy

Travel spending is still being prioritised within consumption. This is fuelling ongoing demand growth for a wide range of destinations despite some increase in value-hunting.

Within this webinar the Tourism Economics team will take a closer look at traveller spending patterns, including the implications of the rise in demand for authentic, cultural experiences. We will also reveal spending patterns across cities as well as countries for the first time as we are now including detail on spending by category within our GCT database. Cities which are benefitting from different types of tourist activity will be identified.

This webinar is being held on our new platform, ON24. If you do not receive your confirmation email, please check your junk and spam folders.
