Kia Ora!

Welcome to this survey. My name is Rike Wendt, and I am a student at Bremen City University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule Bremen) in the International Tourism Management program.

As part of my bachelor's thesis, I am researching the perception of authenticity in cultural experiences – with a particular focus on Māori culture in New Zealand. Since you have already traveled to New Zealand, your personal experience is of invaluable importance to my research.

Information regarding your participation:

Target Group: Travelers who have visited New Zealand and engaged in cultural experiences (e.g., performances, visits to Marae, or museums).

Duration: Completing the survey will take no more than 7 minutes.

Anonymity & Data Protection: Your participation is completely anonymous. All data will be treated strictly confidentially, processed in compliance with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), and used exclusively for academic purposes within the scope of my thesis.

Voluntary Participation: Participation is voluntary, and you may withdraw from the survey at any time without providing a reason.

There are no "right" or "wrong" answers – I am solely interested in your honest, subjective perception of your travel experiences.

Thank you very much for your valuable support of my bachelor's thesis!

Kind regards,
