We are a group of business school students working on a field study project for a start-up company in the travel industry. As part of our research, wefd like to ask you a series of questions about your travel experiences and preferences.
We donft have any funds to thank you for your participation but youfll get the undying gratitude of six MBA students who are working hard to earn their degree. We are able to offer, however, people who complete the survey a travel certificate entitling them to at least $ 50 off their next vacation booked through the company we represent.(Certificate will be sent by e-mail.)
