VisitBritain Market Selector tool helps hospitality businesses identify international markets

22 June 2016

Does your business know which international markets look the most promising when it comes to attracting customers?

VisitBritain’s new interactive tool can help you determine which international markets might find your product most appealing – whether you operate accommodation, a pub or a restaurant, manage an attraction or even offer transport services . By specifying 3 categories using the online tool – business type, region/post code and popular area activities or offerings – the tool  calculates which markets look promising.The basis for the Market Selector tool’s outcomes are derived from VisitBritain’s valuable inbound international tourism data alongside their in-house market intelligence. Once you’ve input the 3 categories, VisitBritain’s tool provides you with the top markets for your business or region, based on volume and value. It couldn’t be easier!

For example, a pub in Dorking, Surrey – an area popular with walkers, cyclists and music festival attendees – would have particular appeal to the following international tourists:

Pubs in Dorking, Surrey, might want to focus their tourism marketing efforts on these international markets

In addition to identifying the best potential markets, there is a further link to ‘More Market Insights’ for each one of the identified markets. This detailed data can be particularly insightful about a new market. For example, Belgian visitors are primarily from Brussels, make their travel plans online and prefer 3* and 4* accommodation along with good food.
