Survey on Authentic Cultural experiences

Have you ever travelled to a new place expecting an authentic experience, only to feel that something was missing? This survey aims to decode that feeling.

We want to understand how travellers define and perceive cultural authenticity. Your responses will help us analyse the factors that shape these perceptions. Don’t worry—it will only take about 3 to 5 minutes to complete.

We truly appreciate your valuable input!
