Resande seniorer på nätet / Travelling seniors on the web

Jakobsson, Adam, Lindberg, Pontus January 2015 (has links)
Denna uppsats har syftat till att göra en kartläggning över hur personer över 55 år använder digitala kanaler inför resor samt deras åsikter kring denna användning. Genom en fallstudie av Kulturresor Europa har studien fått ett producentperspektiv som kan relateras till kartläggningen av åldersgruppen. För att genomföra detta har en kvantitativ enkätundersökning legat till grund. Denna enkät har distribuerats via olika digitala kanaler på internet. Dessa olika kanaler har haft som gemensam nämnare att de varit riktade mot reseintresserade personer vilket gjort att svaren förmodligen blivit mer relevanta för studien. Vidare har det även genomförts en intervju med Kulturresor Europa för att få en insikt i hur de arbetar mot åldersgruppen i deras dagliga arbete. En litteraturstudie har även blivit gjord för att skapa en teoretisk referensram för studien. Denna referensram är uppdelad i två delar varav den första innehåller teorier om marknadsföring. Här presenteras bland annat teorier kring relationsmarknadsföring och sociala medier som ett verktyg för detta. Den andra delen har fokus på målgruppen och presenterar teorier och statistik kring svenskar och äldre på internet, seniorer som turister och olika kategoriseringar av turister och teknikanvändare. En analys kring hur dessa teorier kan kopplas till kartläggningen av åldersgruppen och Kulturresor Europas arbetssätt har sedan gjorts för att svara på studiens syfte. I arbetet med denna uppsats har det tydliggjorts att denna åldersgrupp använder sig av internet i hög grad och på sociala medier är det framförallt på Facebook som de återfinns. De är överlag trygga med att boka och söka information om resor på internet men de tar gärna hjälp av en familjemedlem eller vän vid själva bokningen. En viss tendens till att målgruppen använder sociala medier i större utsträckning som ett kommunikationsverktyg än vad som tidigare forskning visat har även identifierats. Utöver detta verkar det som att målgruppen i vissa anseenden anser sig resa mer självständigt än vad de kanske gör. Denna information kan användas av Kulturresor Europa för att erbjuda mer flexibla alternativ på paketresan som ger känslan av ett mer självständigt val. För vidare forskning rekommenderas bland annat en mer djupgående studie med en kvalitativ ansats för att få reda på varför målgruppen tänker och agerar så som den gör. / The purpose of this essay has been to examine how people over the age of 55 use digital channels before travelling and their opinions of doing so. By a case study of Kulturresor Europa the essay has been getting a producer perspective in this matter, which gave the opportunity to analyze how they work in comparison to the examination of the age group. The base of this essay has been a quantitative survey, which has been distributed through a number of digital channels on the Internet. These different channels have had certain characteristics in which they’re all directed to people with travelling as an interest and therefore supposedly are legitimate for the purpose of this essay. Further on an interview has been done with Kulturresor Europa. The purpose of the interview was to get an insight of how they work with this age group on a daily basis. Also there has been made a literature study to create a theoretical frame of reference for this essay. This frame of reference is divided up into two parts in which the first one contains mainly of marketing related theories’. In this section you’ll get presented with theories’ of relationship marketing and social media as a tool in this matter. The second part is focused on the target group and is presenting theories’ and statistics about Swedes and the elderly on the Internet, seniors as tourists and different categorizations of technology users. An analysis of how these theories’ could be compared against the examination of the age group and how Kulturresor Europa’s work with them have later been done with the intention of answering the essays purpose. Working with this essay it has clarified that this age group has a high Internet usage with Facebook being the social media in which most of them can be found. They are generally confident about booking and searching information about travel in the Internet but they still would like to have a family member or a friend present during the actual booking. A certain tendency from this target group showing that their social media usage as a communication tool is increasing has been showing compared to previous research. In addition it seems that the target group in some aspects thinks of themselves as travelling more independently than what they might actually do. This information could be used by Kulturresor Europa to offer more flexible alternatives on travel packages, which will add a feeling of making an independent choice. Further research recommendations among other things are a more profound study with a qualitative approach to find out why the target group thinks and acts the way they do.

Feel It In Your Body : Hybridization of Musical Habitus in Swedish Cultural-Educational Tourism to Ghana

Vickers, Nicole January 2014 (has links)
On the surface the practice of African musics and dances in Sweden seems to be evidence of otherization and exoticization of African cultures. However, those Swedes of non-African background who do African musics and dances are genuinely engaged with the practice in the sense that they participate wholeheartedly and seem to both value and feel positive outcomes from their participation. This thesis explores how the body meets new ‘other’ musics and acquires new musicking practices, and how this is influenced by the body’s musical habitus as well as its own individual life experiences and emotional context. Additionally I look at the body’s role as an integral part of music, rather than as external to it. To illustrate this I use a case study of a group of Swedes on a cultural-eduational tourism trip to Ghana and my own first- hand experience with them learning choreographed dance based on traditional movements and rhythms, and Ewe polyrhythmic drumming. I show how discourses of difference resulting from historical contact, and previous individual experiences influence the encounter with new music, and how the body through social interactions perceives and acquires new musical practices, integrating them with known musical practices to form a kind of hybrid or new musical practice. / <p>Examensarbetet ingick i en Masterexamen i humaniora med inriktning musikvetenskap.</p>
