Title
STUDY OF TOURISM TRENDS/ DETECTION OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
Description

Studying tourism trends consists of a research methodology that combines different data sources and aims to identify changes and trends that represent business opportunities in certain segments for tourist destinations.

The trend research process comprises 5 phases:

  • Trends Identification: The study begins with desk research that aims to identify and measure the changes, macro and micro trends within the segments and markets studied.
  • Destination Alignment: They will analyse which trends align with the interests, responsiveness (resources) and strategies of the destination.
  • Competitor Landscape: They will identify the leading destinations (direct and indirect competitors) that are capitalising on trends; they will analyse what actions they are developing, how they communicate these actions and what their position is in relation to our destination.
  • Visitor Persona: In this phase, they will draw the profile of the "early adopter" tourist of the trends, their motivations, interests, network of influence.
  • Market Validation: Through a quantitative study (online survey), they will validate and measure the potential of market trends.

Nethodology's trend research will offer answers to questions such as:

  • What macro and micro tourism trends are emerging in the source markets?
  • What are the tourist destinations that capitalise on these trends?
  • How is my destination positioned in the market compared to other destinations in relation to the trends?
  • What are the new motivations and interests of travellers?
  • What trends generate the most interest for these travellers?
