About our Team
Built for the people who run venues and destinations.
Culture Hint is a London-based visitor analytics company specialising in monitoring and forecasting for venues, attractions, and destination management organisations. We don’t just tell you how many people walked through the door, we tell you how many will walk through it tomorrow, and help you plan accordingly.

Our mission
Most venues and destinations are still planning operations with spreadsheets and intuition. We think that’s a problem worth solving.
Our mission is to bring data-based planning to every venue, attraction, and destination in the world. We want to give the teams who run them the same data-driven confidence that other sectors have had for years, applied specifically to the needs of your visitors.
What makes us different
There is no shortage of people-counting tools. What sets Culture Hint apart is what happens after the count.
Our platform integrates visitor flow data with revenue, staffing, and behavioural signals, then runs it through machine learning models trained on thousands of datasets. The result is not a dashboard full of historical charts, but a forecast that tells you what to expect, and a recommendation for what to do about it.
That distinction matters. At The Postal Museum in London, it translated into a 97% increase in retail revenue per visitor, not by spending more, but by deploying the right staff in the right place at the right time.
By the numbers
-Millions of visitors monitored worldwide
-Clients across the UK, Singapore, Malta, and Italy
-Serving venues, heritage sites, DMOs, and councils since 2019
-One proprietary sensor (FlowHint) designed for venues and public spaces
Our technology
Culture Hint’s platform combines two core components. The FlowHint sensor is a privacy-compliant IoT device that monitors footfall, dwell time, and movement patterns indoors and outdoors, in any weather, around the clock.
The analytics and forecasting platform ingests this data alongside your existing datasets such as ticketing, POS, weather, events and produces the actionable forecasts your team can plan from.
Everything we build is GDPR and CCPA compliant. No personal data is stored. No faces are identified. Just the movement patterns that help you serve your visitors better.
