It’s back-to-school time! A new year is beginning, with its share of school breaks and holidays to look forward to. Now, Eco-Visio automatically incorporates them (without any manual entry or configuration) and adapts them to the location of your counters for faster analyses… and comparisons that are finally reliable.
In short: Eco-Visio now automatically adds school breaks and holidays, using consistent names tailored to your location, to save time and ensure more reliable comparisons.
Available starting today, and rolling out gradually through the end of the year to all our customers with the Expert plan, Eco-Visio now integrates these events directly into the tool — without manual configuration — and makes them available for use in your analyses and comparisons.
And each period retains its name —Christmas break, All Saints’ Day, Ascension Day, National Day— even when the dates vary from year to year or from region to region. Comparing two holidays, two summers, or two non-holiday periods is finally simple!
Event suggestions are automatically adjusted based on the counters’ locations to match the actual context of the observed area.
A few examples:
For a tourist site manager, a quick overview of the long weekends and public holidays makes it easy to compare the impact on visitor numbers for the current year versus previous year and to explain any declines by calendar differences (such as a holiday falling on a Sunday rather than a Saturday). Visualizing the different school calendars across various regions can also help measure the impact of tourist visitation by geographic area.
For someone responsible for promoting active transportation in their region, identifying school break periods helps distinguish between a structural decline in traffic and a simple “school breaks + holidays” effect on bicycle counts.
The catalog will be rolled out gradually in all countries by the end of the year.
