Policy & Market Analysis

Informing critical policy and investment decisions with a solid foundation of opportunity, cost and benefit economic analysis.

Tourism Economics assesses policies and funding decisions from an economic lens. Our approach is anchored in decades of experience and international best practices. Using an empirical approach, we evaluate the opportunities, costs and benefits associated with specific policy proposals or market investments.

Helping you answer questions essential for success. 

• What is the optimal allocation of marketing investments?
• What is the market size for a new attraction?
• How will increasing entry restrictions affect tourism?
• What are the economic benefits and costs of legalized gaming?
• How will an increased bed tax impact visitor demand and the economy?
• What will happen if we raise or lower our tourism marketing spending?
