Whitepaper: TSI'S FIRST 100 DESTINATIONS

A global snapshot of insights from the Tourism Sentiment Index after analyzing 100 destinations and 625,000,000 conversations

How do you lead the tourism industry? Follow the conversation.

We have analyzed 100 destinations and more than 625 million online tourism conversations with Tourism Sentiment Index (TSI), and it has led us to some amazing data-driven discoveries, including:

  • Top-performing destinations for both volume and ratio of positive sentiment,
  • Breakdown of sentiment drivers for top destinations (e.g. sights, events, food),
  • Those tourism assets that generate the most positive (and negative) word of mouth
  • An in-depth sentiment snapshot of British Columbia, home of TSI’s pilot run

We have also dived deep into the methodology behind the report and how you can leverage word of mouth for destination management.

Fields marked with an * are required.

TSI demystifies what consumers think, it’s the perfect window into travellers’ minds.
The data validates our strategic direction and clarifies true opportunities for our destination rather than petitions to change from pressure groups. You can’t argue with data that consolidates what a large volume of travellers feel.
