Tourism Tracer
Tourism Tracer is an award-winning research initiative that revolutionised the way visitor movement and behaviour are understood. This international project was led by Omineca Principal, Professor Anne Hardy, and used integrated GPS tracking and survey technology to track tourists through destinations, with their consent, in real-time. This resulted in world- first data on where, when, and how tourists travelled through destinations. Tourism Tracer provides unprecedented insights into tourist mobility, regional dispersal, and economic impact. Its data-driven approach has informed policy, marketing, and sustainable tourism planning across Australia and internationally.
