Improve the pilgrim experience 👣

[AlbertoCamino]

Hello, we are conducting a completely anonymous study for the faculty with the aim of finding out what the ideal experience is for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago.

The questionnaire takes 2 minutes to complete, and you are free to share it with other pilgrims, which we would also be very grateful for. Have a good journey.

Hello, I am a student at the Faculty of Tourism and I quite like walking.
I am currently preparing the TFG and I have launched a survey that you can find in the forum.

Greetings to all. Buen camino.

I would have to sign in with Google to complete the form, which I’m not going to do.

Alberto. Welcome.

Sometime soon someone’s going to ask you who ‘we’ are; what you’re going with the data and a whole lot more. Perhaps you could provide some more information?

I just completed your questionnaire. Every answer was a lie. Does that help?

Who are you and why are you asking?

Hello, you just need to log in but no data is saved, most of the time the session is already started.

If you look when you enter the form it tells you that the form is anonymous and that no data is shared. When you log in it also tells you that your email is not shared. This is all generated automatically by the Google Forms platform, so you can be sure that it is anonymous and no data is stored.

The only objective is to know how to improve the pilgrim's experience, there is no other goal. We already have a few dozen responses, and also many criticisms, anyone who wants to do so we are grateful.

 

[AlbertoCamino]

Sorry, my English is not perfect, we have a few hundred responses.

It is a simple questionnaire for a final year project from a tourism faculty.
Anyone who wants to help is welcome, and if not, nothing happens.

Yes. But which faculty? Where? Which department?

And oh yes, the Camino does not need improvement nor does my pilgrim's " experience".

 

[Tincatinker]

Nah, go on, explain. How do you intend to improve the pilgrim’s experience? What are your criteria for success?

All I want is free aguadiente whenever I buy a “solo”. How do you propose to improve my experience?

I will create you an aguardiente app! Secret code and all of that .

Now, that's enough teasing. Be gentle. You need a very large aquadiente to improve the experience, obviously. Success is measured by the number of pilgrims falling over after their second breakfast.

 

[AlbertoCamino]

Yes. But which faculty? Where? Which department?

I hope you understand that that is your opinion. Many other pilgrims have written improvements in our questionnaire.

It seems like someone else has felt threatened and I still don't understand why. The form is anonymous and everyone is free to do so if they want.

@AlbertoCamino, sorry amigo but you just got roughed up by a few people who are very passionate “pilgrims”. We don’t want the Camino to be “improved”. It’s just fine just like it is. It was just fine way back before Xunta de Galicia started paving it. It was just fine before baggage transport and breakfast smoothies and pre-booked beds and “your luxury minibus will transport you to the start of your 5 km experience”.

Camino doesn’t need improving or enhancing or any other bloody ‘ing. It needs leaving alone. It needs just to be itself. A thousand paths, a thousand ways to Santiago, to the shrine of one who once may have stood with the Divine.

If you’re just seeking further justification for turning Camino into a theme park. Shame on you

I answered the survey and it seems to me more like someone looking to invest on a new accommodation and trying to understand how to make that unique. I found the question about the jacuzzi a bit funny, and too specific to be about the Pilgrim's experience.
BTW, it does collect personal data as I responded from a post on Reddit, and when I just clicked on the link, it said I already responded. If you weren't storing any personal data, I should be able to respond more than once.

The form is anonymous

People are quite rightly nervous about entering any personal information on the internet.

They also become rather skeptical about random surveys, especially when the person posting it has not given any explanation.

Finally, please realize that forum members are passionate advocates for the Camino, but many are concerned about the mass commercialization. Therefore some members are alienated by surveys that ask, for example, whether we would like to have private Jacuzzis at our accommodation, or transport from our point of arrival (in the town?) to the accommodation (in the same town?), and then a ride to the point of exit the next morning. Many members would not consider these to be improvements to the Camino!

People just need to visit this Forum and there is a chance that their Camino will be enhanced.

 

[AlbertoCamino]

Okay, I understand.

I'm not looking to invest in anything, or create a theme park, it's just information for a TFG. I would probably do many other things before spending my money on the Camino.

I have already repeated it several times, NO DATA IS COLLECTED, when you enter the form it tells you clearly and tells you that your email is not shared, that is automatically generated by the Google Forms website. You can search for more information on your own to corroborate it.

In my opinion there are always things that can be improved, and that does not have to go against the perseverance of nature.

it's just information for a TFG

What is a TFG?

 

[duncanwhyte]

Tfg

Totally fake graph?

 

[duncanwhyte]

Taken for granted

An interesting survey.

It's hard to imagine what the purpose is.
Do those really undertaking a Pilgrimage want Games Rooms, Organised Activities, Private Jacuzzi ?

I'll stop there before I get into trouble.............
