Sharing data can help a destination deal with an array of challenges. In this video, you will hear Brendan from The List talk about how they use and share live events data as business intelligence. While watching the video, focus on what he mentions about:

  • How sharing data, such as live events data, across sectors and regions can benefit everyone involved.
  • How providing information to DMOs and other tourism businesses can help them differentiate themselves from the competition.
  • Tourism destinations competing within a global marketplace and how data collaboration can create competitive advantages.
