Article in the TT of 17.08.2021 on the #dufehlst initiative : [more] further information: Zur Initiative #dufehlst |
The SME & Tourism Team and the students of the basic course work together with the tourism accosiation of Innsbruck. The goal is to find out more about the "Friends and Relatives Tourism" and analyse it's Potential.
People who visit our students during their studies play a major role for economic city traveling. However we do not know a lot about their travel behaviour, their motives or their output behavior.
Therefore our students collect important data, learn how to evaluate it and derive practical, specific implications.
