While writing a report you are required to prepare a 'questionnaire' based on the following objective, to be filled at the spot by the visitors:
"Determining the feasibility of setting up a family-oriented holiday resort near a lake destination in the mountains."
Which of the following headings would you include in the questionnaire to make it most suitable for your purposes?
1. Size of the family
2. Budget
3. Number of consumers in the family
4. Food allergies and dietary restrictions
Select the answer using the code given below.
A.1 and 3
B.1, 2 and 4✓ Correct
C.1 and 2 only
D.2 and 3
Explanation
For determining the feasibility of a family-oriented holiday resort, relevant headings would include: Size of the family (1) — to assess room/accommodation needs and pricing; Budget (2) — to gauge willingness/ability to pay and price the resort competitively; Food allergies and dietary restrictions (4) — to plan menus and catering services for families. 'Number of consumers in the family' (3) is essentially duplicative of family size and ambiguous in this context — adding little new information. Hence the most relevant headings are 1, 2 and 4.
