Travel and Tourism Market Research

Fieldwork for travel, tourism and hospitality research: travellers, hotel guests and affluent holidaymakers surveyed and interviewed across markets.

Travel and hospitality brands need to understand guests before, during and after the trip, often in several countries at once. Research and Metric runs travel and tourism market research fieldwork for hotel groups, resorts, airlines, travel brands and the agencies that research for them.

We reach recent and frequent travellers online, interview guests on site and recruit the affluent travellers that luxury brands care most about.

On-site interviews are timed so they never delay guests or passengers.

Who we reach in travel and hospitality

  • Recent and frequent travellers: leisure and business travellers by trip type, destination and booking channel.
  • Hotel and resort guests: interviewed on site at check-out or surveyed after the stay.
  • Affluent and luxury travellers: including high-net-worth guests who take five-star trips every year.
  • Business travel bookers: travel managers and executive assistants.
  • Trade audiences: travel agents, tour operators and hotel managers.

Frequently asked questions

Can you survey travellers in several countries at once?

Yes. We program one master survey with local-language versions and manage sample and quotas in each market so results compare directly.

Do you run face-to-face interviews at hotels and resorts?

Yes. Trained interviewers with tablets interview guests at agreed times, such as check-out, without disrupting the guest experience.

Can you reach luxury and high-net-worth travellers?

Yes. We screen on five-star travel frequency and use validated specialist partners to reach the rarest high-net-worth traveller tiers.

Can you produce monthly tables for a guest tracker?

Yes. We automate tables and chart packs for each wave, in the formats your team already uses.
