Ability to recognize, become familiar with and use statistical techniques when making market decisions in the tourism sector. All this approach will make compatible the ability to manually calculate the various tools for a small set of data with the ability to use and analyze and interpret the outputs of statistical software. Some questions that will be solved throughout the course with what we will know: How do we know if the salaries of an AAVV are high or not? Are these salaries very similar or are they very scattered? Are hotel reservations and final room occupancy associated? What does the Google correlate tool tell us? Can we know the profitability of a year of education? How much does the price of a tourist home in Barcelona increase when its surface area increases by one square meter? How much is the seasonal effect of August for the number of tourists in Catalonia? to raise the price or not? How is the probability that a tourist blog will have 1000 visits tomorrow if we know that visits to blogs in Spain follow a certain normal distribution? What are the main sources of tourist data? Can we know the personality of a tourist from the text he writes on social media?
NOTE: This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in case it is necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured. The Tecnocampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.
The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer the prejudices of others.
• Apply qualitative and quantitative statistical techniques for market research
• Plan, organize, carry out and present a market research project in the business field of the tourism sector and use the results obtained for decision making
The face-to-face sessions with the whole group will combine theory sessions with hand-held exercise resolution sessions and through case studies with data from real companies.
In the practical sessions students will work on exercises and databases with the Stata / R program (to be determined). You will need to bring a laptop to the classroom.
There will be a conference by a professional who uses Statistics applied to the tourism sector. Whether in market research, big data or strategic positioning.
The classroom (physics or virtual) it is a safe, free space of attitudes sexists, racists, homophobic, transphobic i discriminatory, ja be towards the students or towards the faculty. we trust that among all and all we can create a space sure on ens can to err i to learn sense having to suffer prejudice others.

Personal study
The course will be conducted following a hybrid model that will be specified session by session in a schedule that will be delivered on the first day of class. The sessions will be face-to-face, face-to-face for one part of the group and synchronous streaming on the other, and face-to-face for one part of the group and asynchronous for the other.
If for reasons of force majeure during the course can not be developed with the hybrid model, see the schedule of the course and group which includes the effects on training activities, methodology and evaluation online model.
If, as a result of the delay in university pre-registration, or health problems that prevent follow-up due to hospital isolation, the student joins the classroom after more than 50% of the term, a single assessment at the School
The quarterly evaluation will take into account the following aspects with the weights indicated:
- Final term exam: 60%
- Work with database: 30%
- Delivery of exercises and proposed practices: 10%
There will be a recovery at the start of the next quarter. Only the exam will be retaken. The other 40% will maintain the quarterly assessment mark
