The Barometer program gathers qualitative input from German tour operators. Respondents include German Tour Operators working in Germany with a focus on selling the United States.

Why should key in-country travel trade (tour operators) participate in the U.S. DOC, OTTI Travel Barometer Program?

• The Barometer provides respondents with a broader perspective on market demand, which can be used to measure and compare actual internal forecasts.
• Operators can respond to one survey related to their U.S. efforts. This helps eliminate the flood of request from suppliers and representatives seeking information on sales/bookings.
• Specific company information is NEVER reported. The results from the respondent base are aggregated.
• The quarterly survey is conducted in both English and in the host country language.
• Respondents receive the reports in native language.
• Respondents receive the core results free - approximately one week after the survey closes.
• The survey is easy to complete - only about 30 minutes per quarter.
• Reports are accessed at any time using a unique user Id and Password.
• The Barometer will help keep U.S. suppliers and destinations investing into your market.
• The Barometer program is a cooperative effort between the USDOC, Office of Travel and Tourism Industries, the German Commercial Service office, and the German Visit USA.
