Consulting and Impact Studies
Evidence for Funding and Policy Decisions
We help travel organizations understand the economic effects of funding, tax, and policy decisions, so leaders can make the case for what should happen next.
When the Decision Is Bigger Than the Proof Behind It
Funding and policy decisions can change the trajectory of the visitor economy. A reduced budget, new tax structure, public investment decision, or shift in travel policy can affect demand, business activity, jobs, and public revenues long after the decision is made.
Our detailed policy and funding analysis gives leaders a way to quantify what is at stake before changes occur. The goal is not simply to prove economic value. It is to show how a specific decision could alter outcomes, who may be affected, and what the broader economic consequences could be.
Bring Evidence to the Decision
From Economic Baseline to Decision Scenario
We start by defining the economic activity connected to the decision, then model how that activity could change under the scenario being considered, specific to your defined geography. The analysis can capture effects on demand, business sales, employment, wages, tax revenues, and the wider supply chain, depending on the question.
As part of Oxford Economics, Tourism Economics brings independent economic modeling and travel-sector expertise to that process. Our role is to provide a clear, defensible view of the likely consequences so stakeholders can evaluate the decision with more than assumptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Policy and funding analysis applies economic evidence to a specific funding, tax, policy, or approval decision. It helps organizations understand what could change and communicate the likely economic effects clearly.
It can answer questions about the effects of reduced funding, a proposed tax change, a public-support decision, or a policy shift that may affect the travel economy.
Yes. Organizations use this analysis when they need independent evidence to support a funding request, public investment case, or approval process. The work quantifies the economic activity connected to the decision and the likely consequences of moving forward or changing course.
Economic Impact Studies quantify the value generated by travel activity within a defined scope. Policy and funding analysis applies that evidence to a specific decision, often by comparing a current baseline with a proposed change.
