Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) should be developed as part of the strategic planning process and be directly aligned with the business’ strategic goals and direction. According to Tourism Victoria’s Tourism Excellence Modules some of the indicators of a healthy business are:
Key performance indicators should be used as a point of comparison when assessing destination performance. KPIs should be specific, measurable, achievable, reportable and timely (SMART).
Other indicators that could form part of a performance monitoring process include employment figures, new product development, funding and investment, sales conversion, visitor satisfaction and repeat visitation. Social and environmental performance measurement are further discussed in ‘Benchmarking’ and ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’.
The Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre developed the Industry Performance Analyser for Tourism (IPAT) tool for the collection and analysis of statistical and benchmarking data at a regional level. IPAT provides a flexible online data entry tool for collecting individual tourism business data and aggregating it to provide destination-wide performance data. This system provides a powerful tool for businesses in comparing and benchmarking their performance against competitors.
