volume and economic impact of tourism, broken down into multiple categories, for any defined geographic area. In addition to
identifying trends, we can also utilise the STEAM model to estimate the economic impact of tourism-related events, as well as the
future economic impact of planned capital projects, such as visitor attractions or hotel/resort developments.
