📊 Key Audience Shift: U.S. Pageviews Tripled

While U.S. hits were relatively stable (67,629 → 59,885, −11%), U.S. pageviews nearly tripled from 5,307 to 15,154 (+185%). This means American visitors are going deeper into the site — browsing more pages per session. That’s the most commercially valuable signal in the entire dataset: higher engagement, not just more traffic.

Key Observations & Flags

📈

Strong Organic Growth

+196% visitor growth and +113% pageview growth is strong even accounting for the spike. The baseline daily traffic (~350–450/day) is meaningfully higher than 2025 (~190/day), confirming real YoY improvement.

Content Strategy is Paying Off

Broadway Shows, Attractions, Hotels, and blog posts are now driving real traffic — exactly what advertisers and tour operators want to see from a destination site.

🏨

Hotel Intent is Measurable
