Live Italy like the Italians do: help me with my research

Hi, my name is Giorgia, I'm an Italian researcher analyzing how USA citizens plan their travel to Italy, in particular to help a beautiful small Italian town become a more popular destination.

As you might know, Italy is full of "hidden gems", that foreigners often miss or know nothing about, despite their beauty and the ideal slow Italian lifestyle they could offer.

The research I'm conducting wants to understand how foreign travelers pick and choose their destination for a trip to Italy.

Today, I'm here to ask for your help by completing a survey that I have prepared as part of this research. This is a very important survey for me and the Italian town I live in, and I would be truly grateful for any help.

The survey consists of about 30 questions, including multiple-choice and open-ended responses.
I'm fully aware that completing it requires a bit of time and effort, but I would be immensely grateful to anyone who does, as the collected data will be extremely useful for the research.

Thank you very much and I look forward to meeting you in Italy for an aperitivo!

Hey Giorgia
Ti chiami per caso Meloni di cognome?
So che stai cercando un nuovo Ministro del Turismo.
Per quale zona stai facendo questa ricerca?

Of course not, my last name is definitely not Meloni!

I know the rules prohibit the publication of surveys, but this is serious research for an organization that aims to promote small, little-known Italian villages, and I was hoping for your cooperation, as the largest and most active tourism and travel community.

I thank anyone who will volunteer 10 minutes of their time.

First of all, thank you so much for filling out the survey.

I know it's against the rules, but your help would be truly invaluable. It's not easy to find people who are truly passionate about travel, and yours is a very active community.

I really hope they'll keep my post published, because I thought long and hard about whether or not to publish it, and in the end I decided to give it a try anyway, sincerely hoping someone can help me with my search.

Thank you so much for your response.
