Help the tourism sector in Barcelona!

Dear friends,

For school I am doing a research on the behavior of tourist in Barcelona on social media. With the research I will write my recommendations for a company who works in the tourism sector in Barcelona.

So if you want to help me and help companies in the tourism sector to use social media the best way possible, please fill in my surveys!

Survey for vacation tourists:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/socia...barcelonavibes

Survey for business tourists:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/socia...avibesbusiness

You would help me and the tourism sector in Barcelona a lot!

I'm not sure Barcelona tourism needs much help, and the survey is pretty pointless if you aren't a hen/stag party.

I did the business one as i've used Barcelona of conferences and this did not cover it very well. But keep at it, you'll get there and I understood the English

Sorry, but this survey is crap. I would recommend to use it for your career. Get some help from a sociologist and do your homework to improve this survey.

The business survey is making a lot of false assumptions.

Many (most?) business travelers have their travel arranged by the employer - either an internal travel office or a corporate travel provider. These services get them prices and extras that you rarely get by arranging it yourself - or even using a free-standing travel agent. And while these travelers may look at social media about a place they are going - it usually has nothing to do with accommodation or flights - but more with a restaurant or special activity. (For instance my employer is owned by a conglomerate which employs 60K people worldwide and the corporate travel office arranges all flights and hotels - often at very deep discounts. Single travelers or one employed by a small company may not have this option - but t takes a hell of a lot of those to make up for perhaps 25K or more regular travelers.)

Your questionnaire complete ignores this fact - which you should be well aware of if you intend to be involved in the travel industry.

You questionnaire for "business" is still really aimed at tourist/individual travelers.

Barcelona needs no help whatsoever. Change your location to Merida or Caceres or another town if the location needs to be in Spain. Barcelona is ludicrous.
