• (b)ensure that our insights and our decision making are forward-looking.

Forward-looking insights are critical to VisitBritain and VisitEngland especially at times of great flux in consumer attitudes and behaviours. Amongst our research and insights subscriptions and trackers we have ongoing access to a range of forecasts and forward-looking data, including economic and tourism forecasts, flight capacity, flight bookings and accommodation searches. We also collect data on perceptions of Britain as a destination, visitor experiences, and work closely with the Office for National Statistics on official tourism statistics for both inbound and domestic figures.

To complete this picture, we require continuous access to wider insights on the changing consumer landscape and future trends through a subscription service.
