Scope

According to World Tourism Organization, mountains ranked second most popular travel destinations, after coasts and islands. This niche tourism type boosts the local economy of a destination. According to a UNWTO report, travel to mountain destinations is increasing at a rapid pace, with mountains accounting for 9-16% of the global tourism market.
The Everest Base Camp trek on the south side in Nepal located by Mount Khumbu, is one of the most popular trekking routes in the Himalayas and about 40,000 people per year make the trek there from Lukla Airport. Kilimanjaro is the world’s tallest freestanding mountain and one of the most popular mountaineering destinations. An estimated 30,000 people attempt to summit Kibo, the tallest of the three volcanic summits, each year.
Mountains provide a diverse range of opportunities for tourists, offering a place to refresh, recharge, and wake up amidst nature. Beyond the peak seasons of travel, mountain tourism includes rural escapades, exploration of natural and cultural heritage sites, spiritual journeys, and wellness retreats.
According to GlobalData’s consumer survey 2021 Q3, 29% of global respondents that suggest sustainability or environmentally friendly service of products are essential when making a purchase. The more the government and tourist departments of the regions are able to develop the local community, focusing on ethical and sustainable development, the more likely it is to witness support and demand from tourists.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
