What do you consider important when choosing a destination for your summer holiday? Survey

In the modern world people travel to all four corners of the globe, some for work but mainly for pleasure. The choice of a holiday destination is influenced by various factors. By means of this questionnaire we would like to see which factors play a major role when you choose a holiday destination.

More than 50 FIA touring and automobile clubs around the globe will take part in this survey.

We will use the information gathered to assist you in choosing an even better holiday destination in the future.
