Destination Intelligence – Call for data collection submissions
As a member of British Destinations, you are entitled to take part in the annual Destination Intelligence survey at no additional cost. We continue to use the excel-based input form to structure and collect the data. We have received a good response so far but not everybody has submitted their latest performance data yet.
We would like to update the reports as much up to date data as possible. We are inviting you to take part in this year’s survey and we would welcome submitted forms by Friday 22 February 2019.
Note that we are collecting data for 2017/18 data (or 2017 calendar year if applicable). The outputs for this year’s Destination Intelligence will include:
- Individual results
- Group results
- Dashboard (excel based)
How to simplify the input process?
If you submitted your results last year we will be happy to send you an editable copy for editing.
