When the Data is the Story

In an era where data tells the truth about traveller motivations, "When the Data is the Story" explores how numbers can illuminate narratives of culture, identity, and experience. Drawing from the 2025 Traveller Identity Consensus report, Evita Robinson and Dr. Alana Dillette reveals how BIPOC traveller data does more than quantify, it humanises and reframes the industry's understanding of community-driven exploration and global movement.

Key Takeaways:

  1. How to translate raw data into storytelling frameworks that reflect lived cultural experiences.
  2. The role of inclusive data collection in shaping equitable tourism narratives.
  3. Strategies for leveraging insights from underrepresented travellers to inform media, marketing, and policy.
