STEAM (Scarborough Tourism Economic Activity Monitor) has been used since 1999 to provide information on trends in the Manchester tourism industry.
STEAM uses local level occupancy and attraction data to provide monthly breakdowns and annual figures on the impact of tourism in Manchester.

The project is jointly funded by the NWDA, AGMA (Association for Greater Manchester Authorities) and the 10 districts of Greater Manchester.
