Data for decisions, tourism's vital statistics

The Dorset Tourism Data Project is an on-going monitor of visitor and business trends and activity. These essential facts and figures, often used to aid big company marketing and economic decisions also provide stimulating statistics for every local business.

  • Our visitors - who, why, where & when
  • Our industry, its image, value & needs
  • Tourism trends, the big picture
  • Facts & figures at your fingertips
Based within the Market Research Group, Bournemouth University the Dorset Tourism Data Project (DTDP) aims to be a leading resource in tourism research for all tourism businesses and local authorities, providing expertise and specialist local and regional tourism research information. It researches visitor behaviour, occupancy and attraction levels as well as visitor perceptions - what they like and what they don't.

The Dorset Tourism Data Project Team was originally established in 1990 and is now managed by Bournemouth University. It is a partnership between the University, Dorset County Council, Bournemouth Borough Council, Dorset District and Borough Councils and the regional tourist boards. The Data Project provides tourism trend information to assist marketing, business development and environment planning.

Top-line data for the county of Dorset as well as each local authority area is freely available either in leaflet form or on the website. To access this information and find out more about this service please go to www.themarketresearchgroup.co.uk
