Introduction of Travel Survey

        The main purpose of conducting the survey is to explore the perceptions of students about traveling expectations and planning. There are 128 participants involved to conduct the research study. The students of the University of Maine participated in the survey as respondents. Traveling is the most beneficial and effective tool to teach about the world. Through traveling experiences, a student can gain the better known as compared to a classroom. So, in this research study student shared their traveling perceptions and their deeds and priorities about traveling anywhere. There are six sub questions of the survey research.

        In these question, they asked by the researcher about their deeds of traveling, first considerations, their prior traveling partners, their favorite traveling destination and about the planning of their traveling trips. According to the survey results the majority students first consider their budget and then plan any trip. The most favorite traveling place of majority of the students is Europe. Many students already planned their trip. Their first consideration of the traveling partnership is their family. These are some results which conducted through the survey research.

Background of Travel Survey 

        According to a report traveling of different regions and places can change the perception of the person and also provokes the understanding and self-efficacy. A person can gain better knowledge and understanding about the different perspectives and phenomenon as compared to a classroom (Student Flights, 2017). Every traveling experience affects a person positively o its mind and its thinking process. A person can easily change its perceptions about the world. Every new experience can lead the student towards the unknown to known. New experiences affect a lot on the learning process of any human so traveling provides every vast vision of experiences and thinking (AriRagavan, Subramonian, & Sharif, 2011).

        To identify the perception of different people in any traveling study is considered the most important perspective. The changing in climate also effects on the traveling perceptions of different people. A student can easily earn with the help of its surroundings and environment so, the efficiencies can bother then the higher level with the help of traveling experiences (Lopes, 2015).  The safety is another most important influential facto to provoke the traveling demands in students. Any student can easily get ready for that place which he finds secure and safe for the tip as compared to that place which he considers more unsafe and insecure. So, this factor may also affect a lot to the perception of students about traveling (Repnik & Mekinc, 2015).

Research Method of Travel Survey 

        To fulfill the tasks of survey research, the researcher surveyed the University of Maine to collect the data. The data was collected by the university students. There were almost 128 students of the university who respond about the traveling. There are some questions about traveling and researcher took the review of students about them. The first question was about the consideration of travelers before them choosing the holiday destination. The second one was their favorite place where they want to visit in the future, is there have any vacation plans of traveling, is thee they have any traveling plans in the next six months. Do they often travel to the US for the trip, about their usual traveling partners, what are their choices regards their traveling?

Discussion of Travel Survey 

        In this section, the results of the study will be discussed. As we stated that there are five main questions and researcher took their feedback through their perceptions. The first question was “What do you consider before choosing a holiday destination?” 46% of students responded that their first consideration should be the budget. There are many options such as hotel choice, the price of the trip, length of travel, destination, weather, who I am going to travel with any other. The almost 60 students out 128 have their perception that the budget is a most important factor when they start to plan the trip.

        The second survey question is “Where would you like to visit in the future?” there are many different options of the country and 30% people responded that they want to travel to Europe. 39 out of 128 considered that there wish to go to Europe for the trip. The next survey question is “Do you have any vacation plans in the next 6 months?” there were two options of yes or no. 54%, almost 70 out of 128 of participants responded that they have their vacation planning in the next 6 months.

        The next survey question is “Do you usually travel abroad for your trip(s)?” there two options for the respondents, one is travel abroad and the other is stay in the US. 54.69% people stated that they like to stay in the US. They were almost 70 respondents out of 128. The fifth and most interesting question in the survey research was “Who do you usually travel with?” There were many different options such as friends, family, partner, alone, and other. So 50% of people respond that they like to travel with their families. The last question of survey research was “Which of the following is most important to you in regards to your travel?” the first consideration of the respondents is their destination. 52% people perceive that destination is a most important factor when they plan any trip.

Conclusion of Travel Survey 

        I conclude with the study of traveling is, students of University Maine have different perceptions about the traveling. They all have different traveling experiences and different deeds about traveling. Some respondents like to travel Europe rip, some like to travel with their families, some have already panned about traveling, and some respondents like to travel in the US. These results conclude the behavior of students towards traveling. The study also uncovers the effectiveness of traveling without intercepting the studies. In nutshell, traveling is a favorite business for everyone and it includes all the perceptional thing containing activities and learning.
