On February 9, 2024, the first meeting of the scientific research project SURVEY+ was held at the Institute for Tourism. The project is aimed at improving survey methods and more efficient implementation of survey research supported by new data sources (big data) and advanced analytical tools such as machine learning. The aim of the project is to improve the statistical framework for better measurement of socio-economic impacts of tourism. At the meeting, the members of the project team were introduced, along with a presentation of the activities planned during the first year of the project, which are mostly related to the methodological framework for identifying and prioritizing socio-economic risks for sustainable tourism development, assessment of bias and validity in survey research, and sentiment analysis.
