National travel & tourism intelligence

See the travel economy as one connected system.

Official history. Air-service activity. International visitors. Destination context. America's Travel Economy connects the evidence behind how people arrive, where activity is growing, and what travel means for places, airports, markets and public decisions.

Questions, not spreadsheets

Start with what you need to know.

The platform turns government datasets into decision-ready questions while preserving the source, evidence class, geography, time period and public-use rules behind every answer.

How is the U.S. travel economy changing? Track the official BEA tourism history and the governed continuation beyond the discontinued publication series.
Which airports are gaining or losing passenger activity? Compare FAA enplanements, annual ranks and consecutive-year changes without treating passenger boardings as tourism visitation.
Where is air service expanding? Use BTS T-100 market and segment activity while keeping domestic and international lanes distinct.
Who are international visitors — and why are they coming? Explore NTTO SIAT trip purpose, planning, booking, party composition, gateways, spending, activities and demographics.
What economic context surrounds the visitor economy? Connect BEA GDP, income, trade, industry and price context without silently turning general economic activity into tourism attribution.
What evidence supports a destination, airport or public-policy case? Build a transparent evidence chain from national authority to market, airport, state and local context.
Intelligence products

One platform. Multiple professional use cases.

The same governed data engine can support destination strategy, air-service development, international-market analysis, legislative justification and local visitor-economy reporting.

01 / DESTINATIONS

Visitor Economy Intelligence

Benchmark travel activity, contextualize local performance and connect destination questions to national evidence.

02 / AIRPORTS

Air Service Development

Track enplanements, T-100 market activity, seasonality and service trends with explicit source semantics.

03 / INTERNATIONAL

International Visitor Intelligence

Understand origin markets, trip purpose, planning, booking, activities, spending and destination behavior.

04 / GOVERNMENT

Tourism Impact & Legislative Justification

Build defensible evidence packages that distinguish official tourism measures from contextual economic indicators.

05 / LOCAL REVENUE

Hotel & Visitor Revenue Intelligence

Connect lodging-tax and local fiscal evidence to broader visitor-economy context where authoritative local data exist.

06 / CUSTOM

Destination Intelligence

Build custom geographic or industry views without breaking provenance, continuity or public-use rules.

Evidence before interpretation

Every number keeps its meaning.

America's Travel Economy does not flatten different government sources into one ambiguous score. The presentation layer carries the evidence class, source authority, time period and attribution rules forward.

Official tourism authority

BEA TTSA

Official historical travel-and-tourism measures remain distinct from the validated NDS continuation after the discontinued series.

Economic context

BEA Economic Accounts

GDP, income, industry, trade and regional measures can contextualize tourism without being mislabeled as tourism attribution.

Transportation activity

FAA + BTS

Airport boardings and air-traffic activity are powerful travel signals, but they are not automatically unique visitors or tourism impact.

International visitors

NTTO

I-94 answers how many international visitors arrived; SIAT explains who they were, why they traveled, what they did and how they spent.
