BTA1990 - Flight Booking Data

VisitBritain(VB)/VisitEngland(VE) is the national tourism agency, a non-departmental public body funded by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) and our mission is to make tourism one of the most successful and productive sectors for the UK economy. We achieve this by supporting England's tourism industry, driving inbound visitor spend, providing expert advice to industry and to Government.

VB/VE research utilises a range of travel and tourism statistics to monitor and predict international and domestic tourism flows.

We have purchased subscriptions to flight bookings data for a number of years, and this data provides us with a short-term assessment of future inbound trends, including overall tourism performance, where demand is coming from, and recovery post-COVID.

Consultation with internal and external stakeholders, alongside the results of several major reviews of tourism statistics, has demonstrated the need to supplement our existing insights with new data sources.

The purpose of this tender is to refresh our supply of flight bookings data (Lot 1), as well as purchasing two additional flight data packages (air traffic data (Lot 2) and flight search data (Lot 3)) which are in line with the requirements of our new data sources project.
