We’ve been making some great progress on data collection these past two weeks and the system is growing fatter every day from all the lovely numbers we’re feeding it! 😋   Amongst some of the data we now have in the system: 🎯 Daily car park figures for 105 car parks across Somerset. This shows us the number of tickets sold every day in all 105 car parks. Using this analysis we can see how long visitors are choosing to park when visiting the various destinations. Other areas to follow soon… 🎯 Self-Catering data for 32 different zones across Devon and Somerset. This data allows us to track the number of listings, accommodation occupancy and Average Daily Rate of self-catering properties. Further in-depth analysis of self-catering stays will also be available in due course. 🎯 Daily Traffic Counts for major tourism routes across Devon and Somerset Weather insights. So useful to look at alongside other trackers to help understand what caused a spike or a dip in performance.  🎯 Survey results – we’ve begun an ongoing survey of a nationally representative sample of non-visitors to Devon and Somerset to understand what people’s perceptions are of the Counties and some of the hotspots within them. With two months of results back in we can already spot some interesting trends…   We’re thoroughly enjoying the development of this system for the region and are already excited by some of the insights emerging, even at this early stage! 🤓   Sign up to our monthly newsletter https://lnkd.in/dUs9k3VJ , or follow us here on LinkedIn.

Get your free report.⚡ 📖 https://lnkd.in/g835sWvk For the 10th year in a row, Resonance is excited to announce our latest World’s Best Cities rankings and report, the most comprehensive and holistic approach available for measuring and benchmarking the competitiveness of cities when it comes to attracting talent, visitors and businesses. The 2025 World’s Best Cities report is our most ambitious yet, powered by a new partnership with global research firm Ipsos, that incorporates perception-based data for the first time. Our Best Cities rankings are lauded as one of the world’s most thorough and trusted, with Bloomberg calling it, “The most comprehensive study of its kind; it identifies cities that are most desirable for locals, visitors, and businesspeople alike, rather than simply looking at livability or tourism appeal.” So why are our rankings cited by global media outlets and urban leaders across the country? Our unique methodology, which analyzes a wide range of factors that have demonstrated moderate-to-strong correlations with attracting prime age population (age 25 – 44), visitor expenditure, and/or business formation. The result is an important, timely analysis of the urban regions that are leading the planet in attracting talent, visitors and/or businesses. --- #cities #placebranding #bestcities #economicdevelopment #placemaking #citymarketing #destinationmarketing #urbandevelopment #smartcities #talentattraction #siteselection

The annual survey of the most liveable cities gets it wrong again! New York, London, Tokyo and Paris should be at the top of the list, but are not because their metrics are simply wrong. When we chose a place to live — or visit — we want economic vitality, culture, great restaurants, beautiful parks, major sports teams, luxurious housing (hotels), etc. The cities that top the “most liveable” lists are really nice cities, but they are nice rather than great cities. So let’s change the metrics and come up with the real list! #cities #liveablecities #culture #art #sports #hotels #travel #housing #economy
