Read the source, the period and your own results together.

Choose a perspective

Put your own demand in context.

Keflavík arrivals provide a wider reference for the changes you see in bookings and enquiries. Compare the same reporting periods before drawing a conclusion.

In your working day

Useful work starts with a good question.

Enquiries from one market have slowed. Compare your own results with the wider visitor picture before deciding whether to change the campaign, investigate the booking journey or wait for more evidence.

Who is it for?

For Icelandic tourism businesses, marketing teams and decision-makers who need market context when reviewing demand.

From the idea to the work

Bring the outside world into your next planning meeting.

A campaign, an offer or a seasonal plan starts with a better question when you can place your own results alongside relevant market evidence.

  • Icelandic economic indicators
  • Keflavík arrivals and visitor nationality data
  • Sources and reporting periods for a grounded discussion

How we get started

  1. Start with the decision you are trying to make.
  2. Review the relevant indicators, sources and reporting periods.
  3. Compare the market picture with your own results and agree what to investigate next.

A few useful details

Before we begin.

Does Iceland Signals predict our bookings?

It provides market context, not a promise about future demand. Economic and visitor datasets have different reporting periods. We look at the source and date of each series when interpreting it.

Is every dataset updated in real time?

No. Economic and visitor datasets have different publication schedules. We look at the source and reporting period of each series when interpreting it.

Can this help with a campaign decision?

It can add market context to your own campaign and booking data. It supports the investigation; the team still evaluates the evidence and decides what to do.
