Building blocks

Basic participation

The basic participation is the entry into the Reiseanalyse and is a prerequisite for the purchase of further service modules, such as modules or special questions.
The survey consists of an extensive programme of basic questions that has changed little over the years. It covers holiday travel experience in the last three years, holiday travel behaviour in the last year, holiday motives and interests, as well as travel intentions in the near future.
The data of the Reiseanalyse can be analysed according to concrete target groups and segments. So you can look at the results precisely according to your target groups.
Due to the long-term continuity of the basic question programme, the results can be viewed in time series. In this way, long-term developments can be identified and future trends can be estimated.


In addition to the basic question programme and the modules, the Reiseanalyse offers various other optional additional building blocks. With these, the survey can be individually adapted to the needs of the partner.


Modules

Together with the partners of the RA, up to three main topics are defined each year. As so-called thematic modules, these are examined within the framework of the Reiseanalyse by means of separate questions. After completion of the surveys, the results are made available to the respective beneficiaries in separate reports.

Recent Module Topics

Over the years, the Forschungsgemeinschaft Urlaub und Reisen e.V. (FUR – Research Association for Holidays and Travel) has produced modules on a wide range of topics that can be booked individually as building blocks for participation.


Additional Questions

In addition to the basic question programme and module questions, up to 20 further questions on special topics (e.g. booking points and routes, brands, media use) are regularly asked in the Reiseanalyse. These can also be used for a small fee.

The following topics were dealt with in the context of so-called FUR questions in the RA face-to-face and RA online in the last year:

  • Booking offices and booking channels for holidays and short breaks
