How busy will the country get?
Shows the expected demand for the destination country across the season. A value between 0 (empty) and 100 (packed) for each country and week. It captures the overall travel wave per destination — before we zoom into a single ski resort.
It factors in school and public holidays. Holiday periods from the most popular source markets weigh more heavily per destination than others. On top of that we include online search demand for resorts inside a country and historical occupancy data.
