RTI data
The information contained in the following tables is in either indexes or counts of transactions. An index represents changes in spend compared with the average month in 2008 (monthly index) — being equal to 100. This means that a value of 110 for an index means that there is a 10% increase in spend above 2008 for that month. Transaction counts are designed to provide an estimate of volume of activity.
See About the Regional Tourism Indicators (RTIs) for more information.
