In an era where data tells the truth about traveller motivations, "When the Data is the Story" explores how numbers can illuminate narratives of culture, identity, and experience.

Key Takeaways:

2. The role of inclusive data collection in shaping equitable tourism narratives.
3. Strategies for leveraging insights from underrepresented travellers to inform media, marketing, and policy.
