Your lodging-tax report asks how many visitors came, and from how far.
Your welcome center already collects the answer in its guest book. Photograph the pages, add QR check-ins at events and attractions, and export the figures your report asks for.
For tourism offices, visitor bureaus, chambers and welcome centers.
30 days, 150 pages, no card.
Three steps. No app to install.
-
Photograph the welcome center guest bookAny phone at the desk, right in the browser. Your staff check every page before it counts.
-
Add QR check-insPrint QR signs at home for events, attractions and the welcome center door. Visitors scan with the phone camera, with no app, and say where they are from if they like.
-
Export the reportDownload the figures as CSV, with the counting method on every export.
Numbers you can hand to anyone who asks.
Visitor counts by month and site
Guest-book sign-ins, QR check-ins and kiosk sign-ins, each in its own column.
Where visitors came from
Out of state, out of the country, and how many traveled 50 miles or more.
Lodging-tax and hotel-tax exports
Washington lodging tax (JLARC) fields, Texas hotel occupancy tax post-event attendance with the attendee ZIP code list, heritage area partner attendance and monthly counts. Overnight stays come from the optional "Staying overnight?" question after a QR check-in.
On-site counts, not estimates
These are people who signed or checked in at your sites, not phone-location estimates. If you buy those, on-site counts are a way to check them.
Each city or county sets its own form, so check yours against the export.
A real map from real guest books.
Here's a live map from a visitor center in Omaha, Nebraska. It shows where its recorded visitors came from, by state and country, with counts only and never names. Your account gets a map like it, built the same way from your own pages and check-ins.
Start with one page from the welcome center guest book.
