Visitor demand forecast post airport development on St Helena Island

St Helena is an overseas territory of the UK located in the Atlantic Ocean and is currently accessible only by ship from Cape Town, South Africa.  The UK Government is currently developing an international airport on the island and from 2016 St Helena will be accessible by air. Enterprise St Helena (ESH) and DFID appointed The Journey to assess and project visitor demand following the construction of the airport and we did this by building an analytical forecast model and populating it with data gathered through various surveys and desk studies
