Tourism and Travel Collaboration Questionnaire Background The questionnaire was administered as part of the Sixth Sense Transport project (http://www.sixthsensetransport.com/). Sixth Sense Transport investigated how travel decisions could be enhanced using social networking principles and smartphone technology to create 'visibility' of transport options in time and space. The questionnaire focused on the tourism and travel collaboration component of the project. Sample The questionnaire was piloted autumn 2012 and spring 2013 at four campsites and the main study was conducted in summer 2013 across three campsites in the Purbeck area. A sampling frame for caravan and camping sites was derived from tourist information material. The campsites were purposefully chosen to reflect varied location contexts in Purbeck, different campsite characteristics, campsite size and reasonable accessibility to the research team. One of the campsites (Swanage) was dropped from the sample following the pilot as it proved difficult to access respondents due to difficulties in informally approaching potential respondents in static caravans. The accommodation structures of the campsites required different on-site delivery strategies. Two sites were dominated by tents and most tourists could be approached outside their tents (sampling during wet weather was avoided) and the whole site was traversed in the course of a visit. The third site was dominated by mobile caravans, including recreational vehicles, where tourists were not always outside. Here the researcher stood in a prominent position near the campsite facilities to hand out questionnaires to every adult as they approached. The pilot study was conducted over 8 days and achieved 110 responses with a response rate of 37%. The pilot was designed to test and refine a raft of statements that measured a number of latent variables. Following the pilot a number of items were dropped from the measurement scales following exploratory factor analysis leaving the most robust items to measure the concept. The main survey was conducted over 16 days with a response rate 47%. This was higher than the pilot since the questionnaire was shorter and conducted during warmer conditions when respondents were more willing to take part. Questionnaires were given out predominantly in the morning and late afternoon when tourists could be found at the campsites. Comparative analysis of the pilot and main study data revealed no differences for corresponding statements therefore data was combined for the main analysis. The data set The data set was cleaned for questionnaires with substantial missing answers and the final data set totals 339. The data set is available in SPSS v23 format, xlxs and csv formats. The variable names are the question numbers (see Questionnaire.pdf for details). Questionnaire.pdf is a copy of the questionnaire distributed.
