Proven Performance – How accurate is the Travel Barometer?

·        Since its inception in 2002, the Travel Barometer bookings consistently match official U.S. arrival figures, just on a timelier basis.

·        In May 2005 the Barometer accurately projected what no other source had for the UK market – that bookings to the U.S. were not going to meet other more optimistic projections.  More importantly, the Barometer identified key reasons why bookings were sluggish and to what destinations.


Why is the Barometer so important?

The Barometer is a non-biased research partnership that provides TIA and the U.S. travel industry with tangible information that we can use to influence U.S. policy makers.  The Barometer (with your input) was prominently highlighted in the 2006 National Strategy to Compete for International Visitors.  This report was submitted to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce and now serves as a blueprint for the future.


Sampling

·        Sampling is targeted and selected for a representative group of key in-country travel trade that sell and promote travel to the United States.  Each country has a separate criteria that matches the "sales" to the United States.  The Barometer is focused on the U.S. and targets trade that sell the U.S.  All respondents pre-populated via and filtered.  We work closely with in-country representatives and the VUSA committee for each country to verify and maintain a responsible sample.
