Welcome to my brand new research blog! This blog is meant to keep You and me on track on the process of my research for the Visit Finland (Matkailun Edistämiskeskus (MEK) in Finnish). I will be posting in Finnish as well as in English to this blog to enable most people to enjoy my awesome blog.
My research in a nutshell:
The research aims to find out how Finland is advertised in Britain and what kind of image of Finland are the travel agencies promoting as well as what kind of holidays and activities are there available for Brits. I will be researching multiple blogs as well to find out if the promoted image of Finland comes up in the travel blogs. As the social media has become a major factor in promoting destinations I feel it is important to do reserach on the impact of experienced travellers' opinions on destinations and how those opinions affect on tourists' decisions on the destination.
The first seminar on the research projects is held this week so I should get on with my initial research plan! After the seminar I will be doing another post about my exact research problems and aim of the research based on the comments and feedback I will be receiving.
To be continued...
Taru
