Would really appreciate your help!

[Ciorsdah]

Everyone, I'm currently studying for my professional diploma in marketing and one of my final assignments is a research study. I have chosen to study how people chose to book holidays (online/telephone/in store) and with what travel companies/or DIY.

I'd really appreciate any information you could reply to on here to the following questions:

1) How your holiday was booked (online/telephone/instore)
2) Which company you used (or did you DIY)
3) How long in advance did you book prior to your travel.

This is literally just an assignment for my professional qualification and no user names will be used, I just want to aggregate the results and make a table with the data

Hope you are ok to help me!

It depends where we are going. We went to Portugal earlier this month, booked it on the Internet 7 months before through Travel Republic.
With Florida I booked the hotel and tickets with Disney direct 15 months before over the Internet, booked the flights direct with Virgin online 8 months in advance.
Good luck with your studies

Shameless bump

Thanks to everyone so far for the replies - all very interesting and certainly helping me build a bigger picture!

 

[N5girl]

Hi

I booked online (but had spoken to VA on the phone about flights)
I did DIY. I would love to have gone through a company but no one could get close to the prices via DIY.
I booked 6 weeks before travel.

Good luck with the project.
