If there’s one website you need to stay on top of the consumer, this is probably it! It has all the data and analysis needed for the travel & leisure industry, which is an important indicator of how the consumer is doing. TIA also covers luxury retail, so the only thing you might be missing here is the middle and lower end consumer retail areas like specialty retail stores, supermarkets, and WalMart-ers. Only when the consumer has extra cash (disposable income) to spend will they take on big vacations.
