Week 18, 2024 — OTA Focus
New Release
New OTA Saturation Index Calculation Model
A update we released as we have intercepted significant changes in the method of publishing online offers adopted by online distribution channels (OTA).
The new model is based on the historical analysis of the volume of offers published, their temporal evolution and the number of operating structures, allowing a more precise evaluation of market saturation.
Week 9, 2024 — Flights
Improvements
Bookings UX reboot with rolling view
With this latest update, we introduce the concept of "rolling views," a feature that allows comparing current data variations against those of the same period in the previous year.
This approach is particularly useful when dealing with provisional data, such as future projections. In such instances, comparisons will be made using the provisional data from the previous year, enabling an accurate assessment of trends, for example, in bookings on the same date of the previous year. This provides a clear and consistent picture of how things are evolving.

Week 3, 2024 — Flights
New Release
New module: Flights Searches
Now, you can benefit from a new section focusing on flight searches.
A game-changing new section in the Flights module!
For you to fully leverage it, we split them into two main pre-filtered data sets: by the day of the search, when passengers looked for their flight, and by travel day, when passengers plan to fly.
The key benefits of these new data:
- Flight search by the day of the search will, for instance, help you and the local stakeholders plan and design targeted marketing campaigns;
- Flight search data by travel day is essential to schedule events or plan and create new specific travel experiences.

Week 32, 2023 — Media Monitoring
Improvements
Channels settings
The goal of this intervention was to make it easier to set up Media Monitoring and quicker to provide error feedback to understand where to take action to retrieve data from the various channels.
The minimum to make Media Monitoring properly work:
- Media Monitoring is considered working when at least one channel is configured. If no channel is configured, a warning banner will be shown.
Channels Configuration:
Facebook:
- At least one active FB Account.
- At least 1 page
- At least one search term among Hashtags, Keywords, and Mention.
Twitter:
- At least one search term among Hashtags, Keywords, and Mention.
Google News:
- At least 1 Keywords
Tagscape Configuration:
Hashtag
- At least one entry
Keywords
- At least one entry
Mentions

Improvements
Twitter API
To improve the data retrieval from Twitter, we implemented a data retrieval solution via Twitter API. We expect this solution will lead to more stable and continuous content from Twitter.
By Twitter policy:
- Mentions cannot be longer than 15 characters.
- As noted above, a mention can only contain alphanumeric characters (letters A-Z, numbers 0-9) except underscores.
Check your account to ensure your desired mentions contain no symbols, dashes, or spaces.
Week 26, 2023 — Flight section
Features
New filter: Destination Country
A new filter has been added in the Flights section, called Destination Country, in which you can analyse flight data aggregated by country. It will be possible to configure one or more countries.
The user can choose which data to see by setting filters. By default, the dashboard will open to the Destination Country. When an individual airport has been selected, the destination country will turn off to have individual and multiple airport data displayed.
