Assignment background

Young adults have demonstrated a large appetite for international travel. However, limited knowledge is available for tourist operators on motives (or reasons) for young adult travel to international destinations and the relationship between their travel desire and intention to receive Covid-19 vaccinations. An opportunity exists for you to add knowledge on young adult international travel for tourist operators. Your task is to analyse, interpret and report quantitative information (provided to you in the Excel spreadsheet/worksheets) that is useful to tourist operators to better meet the motives (or reasons) of young adult international travel. More specifically, you are required to develop an understanding of: (1) the demographic profile of the sample of young adult international travellers. (2) descriptive statistics for each of the young adult international traveller motives ratings for the total sample, male young adult travellers and female young adult travellers. (3) whether male and female young adult international travel motives are significantly different to each other; and (4) whether the overall ratings of level of desire for international travel by young adults is correlated with their intention to receive Covid-19 vaccinations. To develop this understanding, available literature on young adult international travel motives was examined. From this literature, eight (8) motives were identified. To complete the assignment, you are required to: – Write a brief literature review (300-500 words) on motives for young adult international travel. A minimum of six academic peer-reviewed journal references (published 2010 and later only) must be used. Following the literature review, research questions are to be developed that frame the analysis which follows. – Write a brief method section, which outlines the analysis procedures used and provides an outline of quantitative research. – Present a demographic profile of the sample of young adult international travellers who provided ratings of motives for travel in the form of a frequency table, and include each of the demographic variables captured. – Present a table containing the means and standard deviation values for each of the eight motives provided in the data sheet, as well as the overall ratings of travel desire and intention to receive Covid-19 vaccinations – for male travellers, female travellers and the total sample. – Conduct t-tests to examine whether there are any significant differences in motive ratings between male and female young adult travellers (this analysis should be included in the table with the means and standard deviations). – Conduct three correlations to examine the strength of the relationship between the overall ratings of travel desire and intention to receive Covid-19 vaccinations. Correlations (r =) should be presented in the text of the report, not in a table. Students will receive clear guidance on the completion of each stage of the analysis in ‘live’ and recorded online workshops and face-to-face workshops. Further details on this assignment can be obtained from the data file (questionnaire, etc.), the marking guidelines and other documents found in the course’s Teams site. Please note: these files are only guidelines. Specific instructions on compulsory requirements of the assignment are given in online (live and recorded) and face-to-face workshops and, therefore participation in the online workshops and viewing of the recordings is highly recommended. Report Format Style Requirements: – Size 12, Times New Roman font with 1.5 line spacing. APA7 referencing. – Remember an evaluation report is succinct and to the point. Make sure everything you write is meaningful. Succinct writing is much better than taking many words to explain what you mean. Spend effort in proofreading your writing for basic grammar and referencing errors before you submit. Get your work checked before you submit. Report outline: The report should be of a professional evaluative style that would be easily understandable. The report will be no longer than 8 pages including the title page and references. The quantitative report should contain the following headings: Introduction: The Introduction should include a brief overview of the study. This could include a brief description of the following: – What the purpose of the report is. – What you have done, how you did it, and why you did it. – Why the study is important. Literature Review: A 350-500 word literature review discussing MOTIVES for young adult international travel (Nothing else should be discussed in your literature review other than MOTIVES that are focused on young adult travel, e.g. shopping, novelty, action and adventure). We should NOT see any discussion on receiving Covid-19 vaccinations to travel. Research Questions: Students should list their research questions that are discussed in the workshops. Research Methods: What was the research design? How was the data collected and analysed? Who was it collected from? Etc. Results: What was found (what came from the analysis)? A description/report including the tables (described above) that will help explain results must be included. The presentation of tables for the report will be covered in online and face-toface workshop sessions. Conclusion: The conclusion should follow logically from the analysis, not just repeat the analysis but restate the problem and apply research outcomes to the problem. It should provide a brief summary of findings from the current study. Comparisons must be made between findings from the current study and those discussed in the literature review. Recommendations: What might tourist operators do to increase the attractiveness of young adult travel based on the major findings of this study – these findings must have been discussed in the Results section. e.g. “It is recommended that: 1. …………….. 2. …………….. 3. ……………..
