I am a final year student in International Tourism Management at Sheffield Hallam University that as part of the Research Project module, would love to invite you to participate in a research study, regarding Equestrian tourism experience

This research aims to evaluate the development of equestrian tourism as its form of tourism, identify equestrian tourist and their motivations, as well as how important horsemanship is in tourism experience.

Please note that for the purpose of this research Equestrian/ Horse-riding/ Equine tourism can be defined as "all kinds of leisure activities linked to horses, ponies or donkeys practised by a person outside their normal place of residence for more than 24 hours and less than four months'" (Atout, 2011, p. 15); and  HORSEMANSHIP can be defined as the relationship between riders and horses (Helgadóttir, 2008).

The questionnaire should take about 5 minutes to complete and all data will be collected in accordance with GDPR. By completing this questionnaire you are consenting for me to use your responses as primary data for my research. The participation in this survey is voluntary and you can withdraw at any time or leave questions unanswered. Please note that responses are anonymous and no personal data shall be withheld. Your responses are going to be used as primary data and will allow the team to conduct an analysis into the topical question.
