Cultural Tourism
Data and intelligence to inform policy, guide investment and shape long-term destination development.
BOP’s research covers evaluation, sector mapping, economics and impact, amongst other expertise. We support clients to understand the creative and cultural industries, how they are changing, and how they can best support them to grow. We have a particular focus on helping our clients to turn evidence into action.
Our work consistently brings new insight into how the creative industries can transform people and places. These insights have guided decision-making for arts organisations, national governments, cities and cultural leaders, and shaped strategic frameworks for international agencies and regional bodies worldwide.
We are known for our ability to source and analyse new and innovative data sources - most notably as UNESCO’s longstanding research and data partner for their Global Reports.
