Additional information

Disclaimer on data accuracy:

There are many different factors that influence how many people visit touristic hotspots. Although Avoid-Crowds.com takes multiple datasets in consideration, the data we provide over the API, widget and website are estimates. We cannot know for certain if a cruise ship will arrive or if we have all relevant school vacations registered in our system.

For example, we have no Australian school vacations in our system although we know Ozzies like to travel too. Other factors, both known and unknown, might influence how crowded a city is. Our aim is to give you all information needed to make your own assessment. Avoid-Crowds.com doesn’t guarantee that shown data or the crowd forecast score is correct.

The Avoid-Crowds.com forecast score is a beta release and a quantified summary of all other available data. This is a manual interpretation and will improve over time. The Avoid-Crowds.com score shows the trend and do not necessarily reflect a specific number of people and/or how a busy a destination is.

What is the Avoid Crowds Score?
