What's included

Five modules, one subscription

Every paid tier includes all five modules for each market you subscribe to. Free accounts see the United Arab Emirates preview.

Demand Signals Observatory

Weekly demand indicators for the market — search interest, inbound flight seats, hotel occupancy and event pressure — indexed so every week is comparable with the last.

Demand Signals Forecast

A twelve-week forward view of the same signals with confidence bands, so rosters, rates and campaigns are set before the demand arrives rather than after it.

Leisure Pricing Benchmark

Verified adult admission pricing for more than 120 attractions, with price-change history and a link to the published source page for every figure.

Monthly Market Brief

A short analyst commentary each month: what moved, why it moved and what we expect next — written for commercial teams, not for statisticians.

Katalyst Demand Calendar

School holidays, public holidays, major events and city-wide congresses in one calendar, each scored by its expected impact on visitation.

Markets

The United Arab Emirates is live today. Saudi Arabia is in preparation and will be offered as an add-on to your existing subscription when it opens.

UAE liveKSA coming soon

Data Export is included with every paid tier — Export charts and data for internal analysis and reporting.

Pricing

One annual subscription per organisation

Your organisation holds a single annual subscription. The tier sets how many seats you have and is itself AED 0; the market add-on carries the price and sets which dashboards those seats can open. Prices shown in AED, excluding VAT.
Free — no card required

United Arab Emirates preview

Every account starts free. You get the UAE preview report, one seat for yourself and no time limit. Free organisations cannot invite colleagues and do not see the full Power BI dashboards — upgrade at any time and everything you already have carries over.

Questions

Frequently asked

What do I actually get for free?

The United Arab Emirates preview report — a static summary of the current week's demand and pricing picture. It is a link-type report rather than a Power BI dashboard, it never expires, and it is visible to every active member of your organisation. Free organisations cannot invite colleagues, so in practice that is you.

Which markets are covered?

The United Arab Emirates is live. Saudi Arabia is in preparation and shows as "coming soon" until the dashboards are published; when it opens you add it to your existing subscription rather than buying a second one.

How do seats work?

A seat is what lets one person open the reports. Basic includes one seat and Grow includes five; extra seats can be bought at AED 1,200 each per year. The owner and any administrator assign seats to members on the People screen, and a seat released by one person can be given to another immediately.

Who can change the plan and see the invoices?

The owner — the person who created the organisation — and anyone they make an administrator. Administrators have the same rights as the owner, including billing; the owner cannot be removed or demoted. Members see the reports and nothing else.

How do we pay?

By card through Stripe Checkout, annually in advance. Invoices, receipts, card changes and cancellation all live in the Stripe customer portal, which you reach from the Billing screen with "Manage in Stripe". We never store your card details.

How often is the data updated?

The platform is updated every week, with a monthly executive summary highlighting key market developments.

Can we export the data?

Reports are delivered as Power BI dashboards, so export is available exactly as far as Power BI allows for that report — typically the visual data behind a chart. There is no bulk data feed at this stage; if you need one, talk to us about Enterprise.

Who develops Leisure Pulse?

Leisure Pulse is developed by Katalyst, a data-led consultancy specialising in tourism, leisure and entertainment. Our team combines industry expertise with advanced analytics to help organisations make better-informed decisions.
