Now it’s a proven fact that beyond all observed subjective evidence, even though in a limited study that the information about a destination while vacationing that tourists get manipulates their choices but also that directs tourists to remote locations and areas that doesn’t lead them to have a less satisfying vacation experience.

On April, these conclusions emerged from a real-life experiment on a group of vacationing tourists, run by Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, together with the Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions and personal digital assistant service Travel with Zoey.

“There are influences that don’t really need much evidence or further research to say, ‘oh yeah, people are driven by sort of what’s in the guidebook and what’s physically obvious,’ but we were curious if we could tweak it, if we could mess with it, and if different technological platforms for tweaking it would have different outcomes,” said Ondrej Mitas, lead researcher and senior lecturer at Breda University of Applied Sciences’ Centre of Expertise in Leisure, Tourism and Hospitality in the Netherlands.
