The TIAO Ontario Traveller Perception and Behaviour Monitor: Understanding how to connect with high-value Ontario travel consumers

Understanding the data and insights void in Ontario around perceptions, intentions and behaviours of Ontario travel consumers, the Tourism Industry Association of Ontario and Skift Advisory have partnered to launch the TIAO Ontario Traveller Perception and Behaviour Monitor.

This quantitative-based market research study will track how Ontario travel consumers perceive destinations and assess their overall travel intentions and behaviours. The syndicated research program including bi-annual reports and insights briefings is designed to directly support Ontario RTOs, DMOs and tourism operators make better informed business decisions around destination and experience development.

Regular tourism market research has historically been prohibitively expensive for RTOs and DMOs. As a result, the current understanding of the needs and aspirations of Ontario travel consumers is largely based on anecdotal evidence and infrequent data-heavy research.

The TIAO Ontario Traveller Perception and Behaviour Monitor finally overcomes the tourism data availability limitations in Ontario. Understanding the importance of this data to our industry, this partnership has allowed Skift Advisory to be able to extend a significantly reduced cost through group pricing, allowing the industry to access insightful analysis and contextual data on Ontario's dynamic tourism economy from regular surveying of representative samples of Ontario travel consumers.
