Rethinking tourism yield
in competitive markets

Tourism is competitive, and post-Covid travel economics are complex. Seasonal factors are changing. Precise market segmenting and visitor profiling are vital. Destinations that re-evaluate the structural composition of their inbound mix reduce the cost of acquiring visitors, improve financial yield and build a resilient, flexible visitor economy.

High-Yield Tourism (HYT) drives competitive advantages to increase the ultimate economic value of tourism and diversify the profit base.

We work with our partners to deconstruct their visitor economies. Applying a ‘Tourism EBITDA’ model, we analyse the inbound revenue sources, costs and leakages. We then integrate supply (product development) and demand (source market) dynamics.

From this forensic analysis, we create customized Tourism Playbooks that empower you to leverage the evolving consumer trends and travel preferences in identified HYT markets.

Each Playbook guides you to re-balance your visitor economy, build a profitable bridge between mass and luxury travel and deliver year-round, net-positive outcomes for stakeholders and local communities.

Why High-Yield Tourism?

High-yield tourists comprise a unique, dynamic and widely misunderstood segment. It can be profitably tapped without impacting your mass or luxury tourism segments. Precision-targeted marketing strategies for high-yield tourists derive long-term economic, social, cultural and developmental benefits. Key characteristics include:

Higher Spending

HYTs spend more per visit. Their expenditure is not necessarily confined to luxury services but includes any form of higher-than-average expenditure.

Broad Economic Impact

They contribute significantly to the local economy, through accommodations, dining, activities, shopping, and other in-destination services.

Limited Numbers, Larger Impact

While HYTs may be fewer in number compared to mass travelers, their economic impact is significant. They help you generate greater revenue from fewer visitors.

Quality Over Quantity

While some may cherish luxury, HYTs seek quality experiences and prioritize unique, personalized, or exclusive activities and experiences.

Diverse Motivations

The inspirations and influences of HYTs vary across and within visitor markets. Understanding how they think is vital for tailoring relevant products and services.

Variability in Preferences

HYTs transcend market segments, including leisure, business and VFR, and specialized niches like medical or educational tourism.
