FAQ:

Who is the target audience?
Anyone responsible for oversight of or conducting travel related market research, travel industry tracking, or DMO accountability measurement. In this class, we tend to focus on management and marketing decisions and the research that delivers the needed information. We also explore design and management of the research function.

Should someone at a research firm attend?
If the research firm has travel industry clients (and especially less experienced staff in travel research) they would find this class of use. Your instructors have managed multi million dollar travel industry related research programs and will offer many insights.

Should someone from academia attend?
This class helps fill the gaps that you don’t get in a traditional academic setting.  It is a also a good fit for those with on-the-job or “different track” training with insights on how our field came to be and the challenges we’ve overcome to get us where we are.

Is it a true 100 class (for beginners only) or is it appropriate for someone with experience?
In this class, we cover both theory and practice. The class is appropriate for both early-career and experienced researchers. Experienced researchers may be unfamiliar with specific issues for travel measurement or may have good experience in practice without the underlying theory/reasons why some research is done a certain way. Experienced researchers have attended before and commented they both learned reasons why certain research was conducted a certain way or said they now saw different elements of research and measurement in a different applied light.
