I am looking for Newquay data - how tourism has increased/dreacreased over time and the reasons why. Any ideas of sources?

Answered by our Expert: The Research Team, South West Tourism

Thank you for your question.

Generally speaking, South West Tourism provides regional scale surveys with finer scale data being collected by the nine Destination Management Organisations that make up the South West (Visit Devon, Visit Cornwall etc) or the individual destinations themselves.

In this case, Visit Cornwall is probably the best starting point: www.visitcornwall.com/site/explore-cornwall/visitor-information/research  

A similar pattern would follow for other destinations.  

Additionally, our Value of Tourism report provides data at a District level for Volume and Value of day and staying visitors and is found on our research pages (which also have a variety of other data sources). Visit our Regional Tourism Data page.

We hope you find this information useful.
