Suffolk Destination Data is a strategic intelligence platform for organisations that plan, support, invest in and grow Suffolk’s visitor economy. It brings together real-time local and contributed business data with external datasets to give you a holistic view of performance, trends, opportunities and challenges.
With richer insight into visitor behaviour, economic impact and sector dynamics, you can plan with confidence, build stronger partnerships and deliver better outcomes for the region.
Whether you are a destination management organisation (DMO), local authority, sector support body, investor or policy partner, Suffolk Destination Data helps you:

Plan effectively for today and tomorrow

The platform is delivered through T-Stats Solutions, the same tourism data system used by destination analysts, councils, visitor economy partnerships and national bodies. It brings data together from multiple sources, including contributions from local businesses, national datasets and trusted third-party sources, into one secure place.
Your organisation’s access to data is secure and governed by strict confidentiality and data protection standards.
Organisations can access enhanced insight dashboards, reports and tools, either through appropriate subscriptions or partnership arrangements.
As more organisations and businesses contribute and use the system, the quality, coverage and value of insight strengthens, benefitting the whole Suffolk visitor economy.
These organisations can use destination data to shape strategic decisions, attract investment, support businesses and celebrate Suffolk’s success.
If your organisation needs insight that goes beyond individual business performance, from economic impact measurement to destination benchmarking and strategic planning, Suffolk Destination Data can help.
We offer onboarding support, training sessions and help materials so your team can quickly get up to speed and start turning data into strategic insight, no matter your experience level.
