P1T has taken another dip in online visitation: 2016 to 2017 Second Quarter Analytics

By -
The longitudinal comparison of the previous year’s website visitation performance with the most recent quarterly report provides a snapshot of the overall reach of the People-First Tourism project, as well the performance of the website source links and micro-entrepreneur network pages. Additionally, the report includes data about the reach of the project’s scholarship to the public through select social media tools – e.g., this web blog. Some significant changes in offer and marketing are tracked and have shaped the changes in the performance of the website.

Here is the most recent report, P1T Dashboard Analytics Report for 2nd Quarter of 2017 (see inset below). The report for the 3rd Quarter 2017 will be appearing in an upcoming posting on this blog.
This report revealed that new visitation to the www.peoplefirsttourism.com web marketplace during the 2nd Quarter 2017 has decreased significantly (-133%) over the new visits seen during the 1st Quarter of 2016. There has been a much higher decrease (-227%) in returned visitors to the site during this period. Visitation to the site during the 2nd Quarter is the lowest recorded. Visitors to the site decreased (-69%) from the previous quarter. New visits to the site made up nearly 82% of visits; a slight increase over the previous Quarter which indicates that the site continues to generate interest in visitors wanting to discover travel experiences. The visits to the site during the quarter peaked during July. As in previous quarters, most visitors were from the USA, and they arrived at the P1t website through links with partners such as visitraleigh.com, backtoearthfarm.com, and centroraleigh.com. Other important sources of visitors are the websites of partner organizations like North Carolina Road Trips. The report also features the ten most visited network locations of micro-entrepreneurs, which now includes our recently posted Lake Atitlan Guatemala experiences as well as the NC Mountains region and Kruger South Africa experiences. The social media statistics are also indicating that Facebook and Twitter continue to increase awareness of People-First Tourism experiences.

While the primary purpose of these reports is to enable data-driven business decisions through discussions with empowerment agents and micro-entrepreneurs, we also use these reports to ensure transparency in our efforts to drive academic discussions and research on micro-entrepreneurial business analytics. Therefore, we invite the public and the academic community to comment and to advise us on ways to improve this aspect of the People-First Tourism project.

Onto my life's next adventure...

I am in RDU airport, about to board a flight to Bilbao, Spain where I will live for a few months with the goal to expand my worldviews and to be more career-ready. It’s 6 o’clock in the morning and my eyes are bloodshot with sleep I didn’t get because the adrenaline kept me up last night. My anticipation is reflected in my feet that can’t keep still on the carpeted airport floor and my appetite seems to be the last thing I want to satiate. As I reflect on my journey during the last few years, it is intriguing to see how some decisions led me here. During my time at NC State I remember continuously thinking that I wanted to get myself somewhere beyond the brick-filled grounds of the NC State campus. The university was always able to propel my curiosity forward and nurse my hunger for new adventures - even if just over the railroad tracks at the arboretum - and the encouragement permitted me to take my studies beyond the backyards of Raleigh.   Going abroad wasn'

Manifesto of the People-First Tourism Movement

We seek a world where travelers develop deep connections with their hosts, are transformed by the genuine local cultures they experience, and improve the lives of the people they visit. Hosts All people have knowledge and experiences they want to share with others .   This is especially true for hosts who are marginalized and who are often the last bastions of traditional cultures and associated ways of living and knowing.   With mentoring and support, many of these hosts will emerge as successful tourism microentrepreneurs sharing knowledge, passions, and communities with empathetic visitors. Communities are complex with constantly evolving factions that use their various capitals to compete, complement, and collaborate with each other .   Some people are better equipped than others to embrace opportunities brought by tourism and, as a result, tourism often fails to improve livelihoods of the least resourced members of host communities.   Therefore, the

Beginning an impactful career in tourism during the COVID-19 pandemic

By: Samuel W. Hall, B.S. (2020), Sustainable Tourism, North Carolina State University Me listening attentively to Farmer Dan from Ninja Cow Farm, and his Ninja Cow looking attentively to the camera   In the months leading up to my People-First Tourism/Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau internship start date in May 2020, I had preconceived notions about the scope of my role in these organizations. However, from that point to the time I am writing this reflection, so much has changed in the world that it is not a surprise that my role as an intern also changed drastically. Coming into the position, I anticipated that my work with P1t would be fairly self-managed. I envisioned spending many of my days in the field meeting with microentrepreneurs over coffee or lunch, driving to different municipalities or community partners to discuss the development of P1t signature experiences, and coordinating commercial partnerships with existing partners in the formal sector of hospital
