Our Story

GeoTourism Metrics was born from a simple observation: while tourism data existed across numerous sources, there was no unified platform that made this information accessible, understandable, and actionable for decision-makers worldwide. Founded in 2020 by a team of data scientists, tourism experts, and technology innovators, we set out to solve this critical gap in the industry.

What began as a research project to understand global tourism recovery patterns quickly evolved into a comprehensive analytics platform. As we processed millions of data points from international organizations, national tourism boards, and research institutions, we recognized the transformative power of well-presented, accurate tourism intelligence.

Today, GeoTourism Metrics serves thousands of users across 150+ countries, from individual researchers to major tourism organizations. Our journey continues as we work to make tourism data more accessible, insightful, and impactful for everyone who shapes the future of global travel.
