Demand Curve – Local Landmark
A simple demand curve for a tourist landmark / POI with local significance. This means it’s very limited in range and will only be visited by locals or local tourists who might stumble upon it. A few examples could be small waterfalls, islands, monuments, viewpoints, etc.
These curves are NOT based on any hard numbers, but it’s rather a guesstimate of sorts.
Under 500 people per day, or just under 180k visitors per year.
This fits a few local tourist attractions, e.g.:
- Charles Bridge – Old Town Bridge Tower (Prague, Czech Republic): 125k per year
- Oban Distillery (Scotland): 157k per year
- Memorial to the German Resistance (Germany): 169k 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 08:00/09:00 and peaks at 60% around 14:00 – locals are at work and will not visit as often. Also accounts for local tourists visiting. Demand drops off after 20:00/21:00 and nobody wants to see the landmark during the night.
- Saturday/Sunday: Demand is just scaled to 100% at peak time of 15:00, otherwise follows the same pattern as Monday – Friday.
Aimed to simulate local travel demand. All the visitors will be locals or local tourists.
- 0 to 95 km: 100% demand falling down to 0%
- 100 to 480 km: 0%
- 500 to 2,400 km: 0%
- 2,500 to 9,500 km: 0%
- 10,000 to 20,000 km: 0%
