Using Data to Drive Decisions

Places—and the government bodies and organizations that support them—collect and produce a lot of data. We believe it’s important to harness that data to make informed decisions to promote, market, and manage your “places” more effectively and to better understand your stakeholders’ priorities.

To help destinations visualize how the visitor economy “fits” in the community, Clarity of Place developed PlaceBalance, a proprietary, first-of-its-kind diagnostic tool that taps existing data sets to show how the tourism economy and community needs interact.
