How does the Tourism Observatory in Piedmont use data to understand the impact of events?

The VisitPiemonte DMO (Destination Management Organization) has also chosen a data-driven approach to grow their territory. Through the user-friendly platform, Data Appeal Studio, they analyze sentiment and tourism and trends in real time.Our data has become an integral part of the Langhe Monferrato Roero Observatory in Piedmont. The observatory was created to measure and analyze tourism and the economic impact that an international level event (such as the International White Truffle Fair of Alba) has on the host city and entire region.

The Observatory combines a variety of analysis tools, from classic surveys and statistics to sentiment analysis and visitor spending habits.

After taking an inside look at the International White Truffle Fair of Alba, we uncovered that domestic visitors from Italy and Swiss travelers were the top two tourists who discussed the event and shared their experience the most. The most discussed topic was the hospitality of local operators. All the data collected was shared in a public report and highlighted in the video below:
