BTA1820 Short Term Rental Data

Tender description

VB/VE is the national tourism agency, a non-departmental public body funded by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) and our mission is to make tourism one of the most successful and productive sectors for the UK economy. We achieve this by supporting England's tourism industry, driving inbound visitor spend, providing expert advice to industry and to Government. VB/VE research utilises a range of travel and tourism statistics to monitor and predict international and domestic tourism flows. As part of our new data sources project, we identified the following business needs: • Timeliness (monitoring inbound and domestic tourism at a shorter latency) • Granularity (examining tourism behaviour across nations/regions with greater detail) • Being forward looking (predicting future tourism flows with greater confidence) We have found that short term rentals data has the capacity to meet these needs, in terms of frequent and timely data deliveries, the ability to drill down into small regional geographies, and the provision of forward bookings data. We (and on behalf of Visit Wales) would like to retain and enhance our short-term rentals data package in order to best meet these needs.
