Assignment 7A - Testing The Hypothesis (Part 1)

There are plenty of Americans in UF that knows about Bali, but they can't imagine traveling 28 hours, across the world, to get there because there are no institutions that are able to connect them at a personal level.

Who: UF American students
What: They can't imagine traveling across the globe to a really foreign place
Why: No institution that could connect them at a personal level, it is hard to get trust from big organizations.

          4/4 All

Why
1. What kind of service that could help you travel to Bali?

          - 2/4 Local guide
          - Information about local, cheap foods, hidden places, and things that are not in TripAdvisor

Conclusion

From conducting 10 in-depth interviews, it seems that not a lot of UF students know about Bali in the first place. Moreover, there are other places, that are nearer to the US, that the respondent seems to be interested as well. However, exposure about Bali, advantages of Bali compare to other nearby places, price, and sense of being a local and not a tourist are the factors that need to be done.
