Tourism and Events

The UK is renowned for its diversity of scenery, natural beauty, people, and cultural and historic offering.  Tourism is a particular strength of the UK economy and an area for future growth – it is one of the UK’s key industries.

EKOS has worked with a range of clients on appraisal, evaluation and economic impact assessment within the tourism sector including a range of arts, cultural and sporting events.

Evaluations

We have undertaken evaluations of a number of tourism programmes and initiatives that have been designed to improve the performance of the sector. These have reviewed delivery and performance, considered cost effectiveness and helped inform future delivery.

Tourism Facilities

We have undertaken economic impact assessments of established and proposed tourism developments and facilities.  These have involved assessment of the contribution that these facilities make to local and national economies.

Tourism Markets

Often working with industry partners, we regularly provide baseline analysis of the economic contribution and potential future growth of different sub-sectors within the tourism market e.g. sports, festivals and attractions.

Tourism Geographies

EKOS has considerable expertise in reviewing the economic contribution and maximising the growth potential of tourism markets within local areas that have a key tourism focus.

Events

We have undertaken economic impact appraisals and assessments of a wide array of arts, cultural and sporting events, ranging from large international events to small local community events.  Our work has involved assessing their role and impact on both local and national economies.
