Research studies & publications

ATCB has been investing in building tourist knowledge for years on end. The aim is to make the vast (tourist) research data accessible to all that are interested.

Amsterdam as a Conference Destination Key Figures

During the Meetings & Conventions Seminar on June 28 2011 ATCB presented the new edition of the survey 'Amsterdam as a Conference Destination Key Figures' to its partners. Besides the ten Unique Selling Points of Amsterdam that are supported by this data, also statistic information about the meetings sector in Amsterdam have been extensively studied.

Did you know that association conferences are three times in traffic over corporate conferences? Or that Amsterdam had a total of 3.400.000 overnight business stays in 2010? All meeting locations are also mapped in the 'Meeting Hotspots'.

See the e-book 'Amsterdam as a Conference Destination Key Figures'.

Monitor Tourist Businesses 2009

The Monitor Tourist Businesses (MTB) is an online survey, conducted by ATCB. Twice a year, significant players in the tourist industry are asked to give their opinion on the past and future season. This report does not replace the official numbers of the CBS, which have a much broader foundation, but it constitutes a useful indicator. The Monitor Tourist Businesses is only available in Dutch.

Amsterdam Visitors Profile

For the period of one year, Amsterdam extensively interviewed its visitors. The questionnaires of over 6000 visitors from all over the World constitute a vault of priceless information. After ATCB's analysis of the numbers, the Amsterdam Visitor Profile is now available in both Dutch and English.
