CALLING ALL LEISURE AND TOURISM BUSINESSES!

The East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) is exploring the development of a coordinated Visitor Economy Data Hub, bringing together key visitor economy data, insights and performance information from across the East Midlands. This will help provide a stronger evidence base to support destination management, marketing activity, investment decisions, business support and future visitor economy growth.

To support this work, they are seeking visitor and footfall information from a wide range of visitor economy organisations, including:
• Visitor attractions
• Heritage sites
• Museums and cultural venues
• Arts and entertainment venues
• Leisure and recreation facilities
• Events and festivals
• Tourism businesses
• Footfall monitoring locations
• Visitor-related parking facilities

Could you please circulate the questionnaire to relevant organisations within your networks and encourage participation.

They are requesting visitor data for 2025 and, where available, 2024, to help build a more complete understanding of visitor activity, economic impact and tourism trends across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
