Abstract
Namibia's tourism industry is one of the most important parts of its economy. Thus, the ability to monitor the performance of this industry is a valuable trait. Our project improved a prototype tourism tracking system for the Namibia Tourism Board. Through the improvement of electronic questionnaires and by automating several steps in the data analysis process, we were able to increase the response rate of the survey and drastically cut the time required to produce quarterly reports.
