The D.I.R.T. Episodes

September 2025: Where is demand coming from?

This is one of the most common and important questions for DMO teams. But “where is demand coming from” can mean different things – the physical origin of visitors, the demand generators driving travel, the segments behind the demand, or even the timing across the calendar year.

 

In the first episode of The D.I.R.T., we will use actual, real-time data from global destinations to answer these questions and show how to interpret the data to extract actionable insights and make better decisions. We will cover:

  • How to identify which origin markets are growing or shrinking

  • How certain demand drivers are influencing travel to your destination

  • Which visitor segments are contributing most to demand

  • How to understand when demand will materialize across the calendar year
