These teams deploy resources to build, maintain and analyze data sets in order to present insights internally and to stakeholders. Indeed, the applications of data for tourism bodies are only just being realised. However, DMOs and tourism organizations are often budget-constrained and these resources may struggle to make the best of the data available to them.
