City Attraction Monitor

The City Attraction Monitor is produced from statistics collated by RJS Associates from data submitted by attractions across the City – the data is collective, not ascribable to individual attractions. It is solely concerned with comparisons and trends in footfall at the attractions with headline points drawn from this data. These are produced quarterly, feeding into an annual summary report.

Monitoring and evaluation reports for City events

These reports are final monitoring and evaluations and help to demonstrate the effectiveness of our activities and inform our plans for future work in the visitor and cultural context. You can use categories to filter on City Attractions Monitor, Event Evaluation and Facts of Tourism (Annual).
