Context

We have carried out this survey at University with students doing business and management degrees. At the end of the survey, we have to make an oral and a written presentation to demonstrate our results. To realise this survey, we have to find a topic. Regarding the choice of the topic, we wanted a subject to which each student could relate. In fact, everybody has holidays, plus this topic also generates a lot of different questions and we wanted to extract students’ preferences for their holidays.

Why we have chosen this topic

I think that this topic touches each student and their teachers. Contrary to some topics, such as tobacco or alcohol, everybody is concerned by holidays. They are important; they permit one to change one's ideas; to rest and to quit studies. Moreover, there are a lot of ways to occupy oneself holidays. Students are now more autonomous. Than before, Travelling is getting easier, less expensive and money earned, thanks to summer jobs, give the opportunity to do what they want. So, it’s interesting to know how each student spends his/her holidays, where, how and with whom…
This survey aims to give us an actual trend relating to students and their holidays!!
