Slide3

Background

Innovation Norway would like to update the

Censydiam

study from 2011.

The last

Censydiam

study from 2011 focused on “nature based holidays” in a wider perspective. The target groups are the same, but now we want to take a deep dive into four important segments. We will have 4 full

Censydiam

-groups with respondents with specific field of interests:

Outdoor activities (skiing, hiking, bicycling

etc

)

Culture interest (local culture, history, art

etc

)

Lohas

(Lifestyle of health and sustainability - sustainable ecotourism, interest in organic and locally grown food)

Local food (Scandinavian food)

The study should explore all this aspect with going on a holiday abroad. However, sun and beach holidays and pure shopping holidays are excluded from this study.

Slide4

Research objective

Identify consumers’ motivations, emotions, drivers and barriers when choosing a destination abroad for different kind of holidays/different occasions. What do they expect from their holiday abroad?

Identify consumers’ emotions, motivations, drivers & barriers towards taking a vacation to a Nordic country such as Norway

Explore holiday behaviour, rituals and

occasions

, seasons, travel groups in the local culture

Explore the holiday landscape

Explore the role of activities on holiday abroad (what/why)

Explore the role of culture on holiday abroad including local culture, history, art etc. (what/why)

Explore the role of food on holiday abroad (what/why)

Explore the role of sustainability on holiday abroad (what/why)

Understand potential & positioning of Norway as a destination including their perception of possible activities, local culture, sustainability and food in Norway.

These research objective need to be answered in the report.

Slide5

Censydiam in a nutshell

theories about the unconscious mind and the mechanisms of

release

and

repression

The double mechanism for satisfaction: a striving for

power

& superiority and for belonging & community

Each is deconstructed on key

emotional

and

functional benefits, brands need deliver on in order to be relevant for consumers in various usage occasions/situations.These benefits help build rich networks and allow consumers to easily identify the best solutions for their needs.

People first

All decisions are made with fundamental consumer needs at the heart

Universal

Comparison possible across markets

Customizable

Needs are tailored by context, category and markets.

Validated

Over 30+ years experience across the globe & scientific thesis

Comparison

Allows comparison over time and markets

Slide6

The main purpose of this report is to provide hypothesis that are to be tested quantitativly

1. We start with the Censydiam model and explore it qualitatively in focus groups.

2. The qualitative part then creates a hypothesis on how the Censydiam frame looks like within the holiday category.

3. At a later stage this hypothesis will be tested quantitativly in several markets to create one global segmentation model.

Example from the beer category

Please treat this report as qualitative indications on how the travel category looks like and wait for the final quantitative confirmation.

Slide13

Why We Choose A Holiday Abroad?

The attraction of holiday Abroad in life

Our tourists prefer holiday abroad to domestic, as they believe the former seems more ‘ value for money’, both rationally and emotionally:

Tourists got strong’ trust issue’ towards domestic tourism d

ue to the scandals

of the fraud tricks, which makes them choose the “ pay more get more” journey abroad

A holiday abroad is still able to be as a “ show-off” in the social network, while the domestic one has lost its charm; meanwhile the experience is also considered as a good topic and social identity which helps to fit in a group

My son asked me to take him to Disney Japan, as he needs it to fit in the “ tourist abroad” group, “this group is full of cool guys“ as he said

Pay More Get Better Experience

Pay More Get Better Self-image

Holiday abroad is just like shopping in Dior, while holiday domestic like in ZARA……

CONOTROL

On the other hand, people want to be back to track. Holiday abroad is consumed to make one stay true to your inner self, to think who you are and what you need indeed

Not able to afford a good apartment, broke up with girlfriend, the picky boss, bitch clients…shut up! I am in holiday abroad, far away enough from the normal life, I can forget the suck annoying

When you live with too much stress, you feel that you are not yourself. You follow what others do, you say what others like to hear, you become the one

others expect, but just not yourself.

I stay with myself in the holiday, and hear the voice inside, get back the true-me

ATTRACTION:

UNIQUENESS:

Actually, I have little idea about the people in Norway, how they live, what they like, there is little information, and even less seems attracting

FAMILIARIT:

ATTRACTION:

UNIQUENESS:

The history in Norway seems not as exciting as the mainland Euro, the legend, the story, it’s not appealing enough for me to explore in the holiday

Is there any treasure, or famous artists in Norway? Or any classic art genre? I have no idea

Slide112

LOHAS EXPERIENCE (1/2)

In very low awareness

Only the senior female claim that they heard it

AWARNESS

Full of misunderstanding

Some believe it means following your heart

Some just consider it same as ECO, or environment-friendly

PERCEPTION

Low relevance with holiday

Low relevance with themselves

Middle-high relevance with Norway, but not unique

RELEVANCE

Some claimed that they have the LOHAS experience in holiday, such as the energy-saving hotel, or Organic Food, but it’s a occasional trial, not their mainstream choice

EXPERIENCE

Slide113

LOHAS EXPERIENCE (2/2)

When I want a LOHAS holiday?

When planning a holiday with kid

When planning a holiday for the family who just recovered from the illness

When planning a holiday for restart

OCCASION

What I prefer to do in LOHAS holiday?

Pay a visit in the organic food farm or garden, where I can do gathering and picking

Picnic in the forest, where I can gather the materials and water for cooking

Be closed to the local animal

I can learn a skill, such as brewing beer in a brewery, but it should be relevant with the local characters

PREFERENCE

Slide114

FOOD EXPERIENCE

AWARNESS

PERCEPTION

In very high awareness in seafood, especially the salmon, but

nothing else in food has been mentioned

Seafood: High-quality, fresh, and some mentioned

it’s in better quality and different flavor because of the cold weather

Other local food: in very low awareness

Process: without local process method or unique spice, and the process seems simple and rough

Attractive for planning the holiday

Love and eager to try

But not possible to shop and take back, as Norway food is famous for fresh, and it’s not easy to keep fresh in the journey
