- How do I ensure visitors continue to spend money?
- What are the visitors doing while at my destination? How can I increase the time spent here to increase revenue?

- How can I effectively target my marketing campaigns to bring more visitors to my destination?
SpendingPulse™
SpendingPulse™ is a macroeconomic indicator of retail sales based on actual, near real-time spend data across various sectors.
The country of Georgia, with a GDP heavily reliant on tourism, felt the crushing impact of travel restrictions and lockdowns imposed by the pandemic. Mastercard Tourism Insights enabled the Georgian National Tourism Administration to use anonymized and aggregated payment data — pre- to post-trip — to uncover consumers’ behaviors, sentiments and spending habits, allowing better decision-making and planning.
These insights are helping local Georgian hoteliers transform how they interact with and attract customers by better understanding when to expand or encourage traffic and how to market to certain kinds of travelers.
Tourism Insights provide us with trends, developments and consumer spend insights in the travel market. These data points are essential for taking qualified and data driven strategic decisions and therefore streamline the efficiency of our activities. We highly value the expertise of Mastercard Data & Services analytical team.
