Abstract
I wrote this report for the course “Researching Techniques” in my second year at NHTV for the study track ITMC, International Travel Management and Consultancy. The research objective was to analyze and to develop an insight in tourism preferences and lifestyle and their relation with social capital. Thus in this report several research techniques will be used and the results will be given per chapter of each topic. And at the end there will be a conclusion about every topic.
