DRAKO is a Mobile Location Data provider with a programmatic trading desk specializing in geolocation analytics and programmatic advertising. Our Consumer Travel History Data has helped cities, counties, and states better understand who their visitors are so that they can effectively develop and deliver advertising campaigns. We’re in a unique position to deliver enriched insight beyond traditional surveying or other data sources because of our rich dataset, proprietary modelling capabilities, and analytical capabilities.

MAIDs (Mobile Advertising IDs) are unique device identifiers associated with consenting mobile devices that can be utilized for geolocation based analyses and audiences. Drako uses MAIDs to fuel our Consumer Travel History Data utilizing our Home Location Model. The Home Location of a MAID is determined based on where that MAID is seen most frequently between the hours of 11pm and 6am (local time). Using this we are able to determine the Home Location of a user which in turn allows us to identify when and where they are travelling.

Beyond identifying that users are tourists, we can also classify them into different bins by their frequency / dwell time over their estimated number of visits. Using our data and frequency, we can identify: overnight visitors, weekend visits, short-term stays, long-term stays, or frequent holiday visitors !

Beyond Consumer Travel History Data in your defined geography alone, we are also able to provide: - Home location - Find out where your audience is coming from using our home location technology - Movement - Quantify how far users have travelled between locations. - Demographics - Discover neighborhood level characteristics such as income, ethnicity, and more - Brand index - Learn which major brands and retailers your audience is visiting the most. - Visitation index - See which destinations your visitors are visiting the most - Addressable audience - Customize your audiences for your campaigns using our analytic insights

Moreover, if you’re looking to activate your Consumer Travel History Data for advertising, we’re always able to further refine or filter your desired audience with our other Audience Data, such as: Brand visits, Geodemographics, Ticketed Event visits, Purchase Intent (in Canada), Purchase History (in USA), and more !

Data Compliance: All of our Consumer Travel History Data is fully CCPA compliant and 100% sourced from SDKs (Software Development Kits), the most reliable and consistent mobile data stream with end user consent available with only a 4-5 day delay. This means that our location and device ID data comes from partnerships with over 1,500+ mobile apps. This data comes with an associated location which is how we are able to segment using geofences.

Data Quality: In addition to partnering with trusted SDKs, DRAKO has additional screening methods to ensure that our mobile location data is consistent and reliable. This includes data harmonization and quality scoring from all of our partners in order to disregard MAIDs with a low quality score.

The statistic depicts the number of overseas visitors to selected U.S. states and territories from 2009 to 2016. In 2016, the state of New York was the most frequently selected travel destination for overseas visitors with approximately 10.01 million visitations over the course of the year.

The number of international tourist arrivals worldwide increased across all regions in 2024 over the previous year. Except for the Asia-Pacific region, inbound tourist arrivals in 2024 exceeded pre-pandemic levels. Overall, Europe reported the highest volume of inbound travelers over the period considered, with around *** million arrivals in 2024. What are the most visited countries by inbound travelers? With Europe being the most visited region by inbound travelers, it does not surprise that two European destinations top the ranking of countries with the highest number of inbound tourist arrivals worldwide. Both before and after the impact of COVID-19, France and Spain reported the most inbound tourist arrivals in the world, ahead of the United States. That said, the United States was the country with the highest international tourism receipt worldwide over the same period. What is the global economic impact of travel and tourism? According to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the total contribution of travel and tourism to the gross domestic product worldwide reached just under ** trillion U.S. dollars in 2023, nearly caching up with pre-pandemic levels. This figure refers to the direct, indirect, and induced impact of the global travel and tourism sector. Meanwhile, the total number of travel and tourism jobs worldwide exceeded *** million that year.

In 2024, global international tourism receipts amounted to roughly *** billion U.S. dollars. This figure, the highest reported to date, represented a **** percent increase over the previous year. What is the most visited global region by inbound tourists? While global inbound tourism receipts exceeded by far pre-pandemic levels in 2024, the number of international tourist arrivals worldwide equaled the figure reported in 2019. Overall, both before and after the impact of COVID-19, Europe was the most visited global region by international travelers, with over *** million inbound tourist arrivals in 2024. What are the most visited countries by inbound travelers? With Europe being the most popular global region among international travelers, it comes as no surprise that two European destinations topped the ranking of countries with the highest number of inbound tourist arrivals worldwide. Overall, France reported the most inbound tourist arrivals in 2023, followed by Spain, the United States, and Italy.

The average for 2020 based on 73 countries was 4609 thousand tourists. The highest value was in the USA: 60550 thousand tourists and the lowest value was in Chad: 6 thousand tourists. The indicator is available from 1995 to 2020. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

This table contains 45 series, with data for years 2014 - 2014 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years).

The number of international tourist arrivals in the Americas rose sharply in 2023 compared to the previous year. That said, it remained below the figures reported before the impact of COVID-19. Overall, the United States was the most visited country by inbound travelers in the Americas in 2023, with over ** million international tourist arrivals. Mexico and Canada followed in the ranking that year, with around ** million and ** million arrivals, respectively.

In 2023, the number of overseas resident visits to the United Kingdom totaled 38 million, representing a growth of over 20 percent from the previous year. The figure was projected to reach 38.7 million in 2024. Has the UK’s tourism industry completely recovered from the coronavirus pandemic? Like in most countries, the travel restrictions put in place to stem the spread of the coronavirus wreaked havoc on the UK’s tourism industry. Overseas visitor numbers dropped to 7.1 million in 2021, representing a drop of over 80 percent from 2019. While the figure reported for 2023 showed a continued recovery in terms of overseas visitors to the UK, it remained below pre-pandemic levels. However, in terms of spending among the UK’s leading inbound travel markets, most overseas visitors spent more in 2023 than in 2019, with visitors from the UK’s leading inbound travel market, the United States, spending around 50 percent more during their travels than in 2019. What are the most visited cities in the UK? Unsurprisingly, London consistently ranked as the most visited town or city in the UK among international tourists in recent years, drawing in 20.27 million visitors in 2023. This was around tenfold the number of the second-most visited city, Edinburgh, which received 2.32 million visitors during the same year. As the UK’s capital city, London’s tourist attractions are as varied as the city itself; however, one particularly strong draw for inbound visitors is Royal Family-related tourism. This is evident with the top two most visited paid tourist attractions in England being based in London and either belonging to the Royal Family or being run by a Royal-affiliated charity. Meanwhile, among UK residents, London ranks as the second most popular destination for a summer staycation, with the South West ranking first.

According to a survey conducted among international visitors arriving in South Korea throughout 2023, tourists from the United States had the highest average travel expense, at 3,735.6 U.S. dollars spent per person.

In 2024, the number of visitors to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill archaeological park in Rome recorded a 20 percent annual increase. That year, attendance at the Colosseum reached 14.7 million, making it the most visited tourist attraction in Italy. How much income do museums in Italy generate every year? Rome’s Colosseum, one of the most iconic historical buildings in the world, plays a prominent role in supporting the Italian tourism industry. In 2024, the Roman amphitheater ranked first among Italy’s museums, archaeological areas, and similar cultural institutions based on income, reporting over 100 million euros. Overall, the total income of state museums and similar cultural institutions in Italy exceeded 380 million euros in 2024. How many international tourists visit Rome? Rome is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy. In 2023, the number of international tourist arrivals in Rome’s accommodation establishments reached just under seven million. This figure, however, remained below pre-pandemic levels. When looking at the leading inbound travel markets in Rome, travelers from the United States and the United Kingdom recorded the highest number of tourist arrivals in the Italian capital either before and after the impact of the pandemic.

The United States is the most popular country of origin among international air passengers arriving or passing through Mexican airports. In 2022, air travelers flying from the United States to the Latin American country amounted to around **** million. Canada was the second country of origin for international tourists arriving by air in Mexico, with only roughly *** thousand arrivals.

Traveling to Mexico from the United States

Air passenger arrivals from the United States were significantly lower than the number of U.S. citizens visiting Mexico in 2019. This fact suggests that, for the most part, U.S. travelers arrive in Mexican territory using other modes of transport. In the years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of cruise vessels calling at Mexico increased steadily, many of which sail from U.S. ports across the Gulf of Mexico. And with a continental border that spans over ***** thousand kilometers, the United States also accounts for the largest number of incoming visitors arriving by land to Mexico.

Mexico: an attractive destination for U.S. medical patients

Driven by continually rising out-of-pocket payments in the most expensive health care system worldwide, an increasing number of U.S. residents are seeking routine, critical, and special medical treatments in other countries, with Mexico being one of the most sought-after destinations. Due to their geographic proximity and the significant disparity between the two nations’ currencies, medical services in Mexico are comparably cheaper for patients who live in the United States.

INDICATOR DEFINITION A count of visits and visitor numbers to Australian Antarctic Territory sites and Australia's sub-Antarctic islands by Australian and overseas tour operators and private vessels. Data are also available for Australian tour operators that visit other (non-AAT) areas of the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands.

TYPE OF INDICATOR There are three types of indicators used in this report: 1.Describes the CONDITION of important elements of a system; 2.Show the extent of the major PRESSURES exerted on a system; 3.Determine RESPONSES to either condition or changes in the condition of a system.

This indicator is one of: PRESSURE

RATIONALE FOR INDICATOR SELECTION Shipborne Antarctic tourist numbers have quadrupled in the past fifteen years. Antarctic tourism is expected to continue to exhibit high growth, particularly if more large cruise ships begin operating there. Antarctic tourism is currently concentrated around the Antarctic Peninsula area and associated sub-Antarctic islands. Apart from visits to Australia's sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island (which is managed by the State of Tasmania), there are currently only limited tourist visits to the AAT and other Australian sub-Antarctic islands. It is, however, important to track these activities due to the potential risk of cumulative environmental impact: the areas of most interest to tourists are those with concentrations of wildlife, with unique physical or biotic characteristics, or with heritage sites. Increased visits by tourist ships in Antarctic waters also increase the potential for oil spills, wildlife disturbance, effluent/waste discharges and introduced diseases.

DESIGN AND STRATEGY FOR INDICATOR MONITORING PROGRAM Spatial scale: Australian Antarctic Territory and Australian sub-Antarctic islands visited by tour operators. Data from the Antarctic Peninsula (not Australian territory) is also included, from 2001-02 onwards, based on the reports of Australian tour operators who operate on the Peninsula. Note that Australian operators typically carry fewer than 10% of the total number of tourists in the Peninsula region, so the data does not reflect the overall pressure on that region.

Frequency: Collected/reported annually, based on austral summer season for tour activities.

Measurement technique: Data collected via initial environmental impacts assessments (EIAs) provided by operators/owners and via post visit reports. These data can be collated as required. Data on tourist visits/activities are also collected by the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO), although this information is predominantly about operators who are members of IAATO.

Australia must provide information on private vessel activities in the Antarctic Treaty Area as part of Antarctic Treaty reporting obligations. Information from operators is also sought, and provided in the EIAs, on the type of operation and tourist activities and measures taken to minimise environmental impacts, e.g. oil spills contingencies.

RESEARCH ISSUES Several issues are of concern with regard to increased tourism activity in the Antarctic region.

The potential for cumulative impacts needs to be explored and methods developed to identify and quantify impacts at specific sites.

Increased tourist and ship activity has the potential to cause pollution. Implications for increased pollutant loads in Antarctic ecosystems need to be addressed and acceptable levels of pollutants need to be identified.

The introduction of exotic pests and/or diseases due to tourist activities has the potential to considerably affect Antarctic ecosystems. Work needs to be done to assess introductions that may occur and that have already occurred, and the impacts of these introductions.
