OUR SERVICES
Airport Passenger Forecasting
At the root of the Company's forecasting services is the monthly forecast and forecast update of 750 of the world's largest and most important airports. Each of these airports is separately reviewed based upon the latest available actual data and forecasts are produced by month, by quarter and annually out to 2040. The forecast content for each airport includes international, domestic and total passengers. The company has invested considerably in the design of custom built software which is especially well adapted to the needs of the air travel business. Its approach is entirely systematic in that the forecasts generated are without personal conjecture and are thus capable of probability analysis.
Bespoke Forecasting
Our unique expertise and depth of data coverage enables us to work closely with individual clients on tailored forecast studies. These have ranged recently from a master plan for a major airport to a privatization study and a bespoke in-house forecast database for a leading airport supplier.
Travel and Tourism Forecasting
Our country by country travel and tourism forecasts are an invaluable tool for companies involved in the travel and travel retail industries. For each of 120 countries worldwide there are online forecasts for visitors arriving and departing by air, land and sea. The forecast content for each country includes a breakdown by business and leisure traveller, nationality of visitor and visitor by regional origin.
Consumer Research
The Company runs both multi-client and private client consumer research projects for suppliers to Travel Retail. Recent assignments include an in-depth study of the global business traveller's attitude to Duty Free shops and a survey of the airport shopping preferences of women travellers from five regions. Our comprehensive databank comprises detailed analysis of the travel retail purchasing trends of consumers from all of the major global economies including Brazil, China, India and Russia.
