questions to listen to their stories and collect quantitative data

What we’ve learnt from interviews
• Current travel habits of our prospects, what they like to do when they travel
• We’ve find out that most plan their travel themselves and occasionally use the service of tour guides, which are not always a positive experience
• They will be happy to have more personalised help of locals to move away from mass ‘tourist stuff’ and discover more authentic spots

What we’ve learnt from interviews
• Some prefer organised tours operators for safety reason but if that concern is lifted they would rather use locals
• A few love the anonymity of group tour in case they don’t like the tour they can easily do other things instead of offending the tour guide
• Depending on time they have for travel they might use the service of a local person or find their own way
