For some people, research sounds so far away, complicated and hard to do. However, that’s not the fact, and research means a lot to many fields, not just in science. Then, what is research and its purpose?
What is research?
Research is a process of collecting critical data, and information, then analyzing, and interpreting that data/ information in accordance with suitable methodologies in specific professional fields and academic disciplines.
Purpose of research
The common purpose of research is to identify, describe, explain a fact, predict or solve a problem.
In the field of research, market research is getting great interest, especially when the market is increasingly competitive. Market research allows a company to discover a target market, and get feedback from consumers about their products/services. Thereby, they can solve the problems in the business process, and come up with the best solutions.
Today, in addition to the F&B or garment industry, travel has gradually become a human need. Therefore, it can also be seen as a consumer industry. Despite being invisible, travel packages and related products/services are still widely used and positively evaluated by many people. The fast-increasing demand to travel partly boosts travel market research.
This type of research can be conducted internally, by the company itself or by a third party specialized in market research.
