Demand Curve – Regional Landmark
A simple demand curve for a tourist landmark / POI with regional significance. These are expected to be liked within a region or a small country. Unlike international/national landmarks these don’t attract high number of locals, but rather spread the demand across a wider area.
These curves are NOT based on any hard numbers, but it’s rather a guesstimate of sorts.
Between 500 and 2000 people per day, or just around 180k to 730k visitors per year.
This fits a few of the major regional tourist attractions, e.g.:
- Carcassone (France): 362k per year
- Giants Causeway (Northern Ireland): 662k per year
- Urquhart Castle (Scotland): 442k per year
- Pilsner Urquell Brewery (Plzen, Czech Republic): 527k per year
These are set-up to be slightly offset to each other to simulate people staying at the site and leaving after a while:
- Monday – Friday: Demand starts picking up around 06:00/07:00 and peaks at 70% around 13:00. This accounts for lower demand during work days as locals will be at work and fewer people from region will travel to the landmark as they might also be at work.
- Saturday/Sunday: Demand is scaled up to 100% and starts a bit earlier and ends a bit later. People want to hang out around the landmark even though it might be closed, but not for too long.
Aimed to simulate spread regional with a focus on travellers that might take a one day trip to see this landmark.
- 0 to 95 km: Demand slowly falls down to 40%
- 100 to 480 km: Slowly goes down to 0%
- 500 to 2,400 km: 0%
- 2,500 to 9,500 km: 0%
- 10,000 to 20,000 km: 0%
