ABSTRACT
Young people are especially active and spend a lot of time participating in tourism.
When students' tourism needs increase, this study detects and points out the characteristics,
habits, and attitudes of students in tourism activities. To explore these issues, the author uses a
combination of two qualitative and quantitative research methods. Data was collected through a
12-question questionnaire that was randomly distributed to 200 students studying at the banking
academy. The results of the study show that students have an average frequency of travel and
tend to participate in short-term experiences. Regarding factors affecting the choice of a
destination, the results show that 7 factors are environmental, human attitudes, costs, diversity
of entertainment areas, quality of hotel services, security, and the convenience of commuting
both affect a relatively high percentage of students. The 7 factors mentioned above are also the
factors that most students consider essential or very essential in whether they will return to that
place again or not. This study provides future research with data on a relatively infrequently
studied aspect of students' intention to return to a tourist destination.

1. Introduction
Tourism currently has the fastest growth rate compared to other economic sectors. In 1950,
the tourism industry recorded 25 million international visitors in the Middle East. This number
7
Travelling habits of Banking Academy students of both genders

increased to 277 million in 1980, from 920 million in 2010 and is expected to continue to
increase in the next decade (International Labour Organization, 2012). For the economy, tourism
can make a significant contribution to economic development. Typically, it creates a lot of jobs
and is an important source of development and employment, especially for those who have
difficulty accessing the labor market, such as women, young people, migrant workers, and rural
residents (Çakar and Seyitoğlu, 2016). Remarkably for developing countries, the tourism
industry is increasingly becoming a major source of growth, employment, income, and national
security. However, currently, there is still no uniform definition of tourism among experts,
although it is needed in academic, statistical and many other fields (Netto, 2009). For people,
tourism has become an indispensable part of life because of its values. In particular, in the
current era, when people's lives are increasingly improving, the demand for tourism has become
more and more popular.
For humans, tourism brings a lot of benefits. It helps people improve their health, increase
their understanding of the world, adds more fun to their lives, and has many other benefits. Then,
people in society are more and more interested in their travel needs. Exceptionally, the growing
interest of young people in traveling. According to one statistic, there were 20% of young people
out of 940 million international tourists in 2010 (Çakar and Seyitoğlu, 2016). In addition, young
people are people and are likely to participate in tourism activities for both educational and
cultural purposes. One study found that young people are more likely to engage in travel and
tourism activities than older generations through the use of communication and information
technology. As a result, young people will play a big role in developing and expanding the
tourism industry.
Young people are especially active and spend more time on tourism. Moreover, young
people also increasingly have higher and more diverse requirements for their travel, such as
choosing tourist destinations, and the variety and attractiveness of activities in tourist
destinations. These things can be clearly seen in young people of student age. This study focuses
on students studying at a banking academy. This study answers the following three questions:
“How much time do banking academy students spend traveling each year?”; “What factors affect
the choice of a tourist destination for banking academy students?”; “What factors influence the
return to a tourist destination of banking academy students?”.

2. Literature review
There have been many previous studies on travel issues in young people. A study by authors
Newbold and Jamal in 2020 compared travel behavior in young and old people. This study
synthesized the knowledge of tourist behavior of 2 different age groups, young and old, based on
previously researched documents from 2010 to 2018. Both qualitative and quantitative research
methods have been used by the authors. Research has shown 5 factors related to tourist behavior
of two generations. The first is personal attributes. In the case of young people, personal income
factors have a significant impact on travel habits. The second is geography, and the built
environment, young people tend to use public transport more, make fewer trips. Research results
show that the majority of students today want to live in an area that has many amenities and
tourist attractions for entertainment. This also shows that young people want to travel in their
living area more than to travel far away. The third factor is marital status. Research has shown a
difference between young people who are married and those who are still living with their
parents in travel habits. Fourth is the technology factor. Research results show that young people
tend to regularly use smartphones to perform many operations during travel in order to save time
and fully grasp information. The fifth is the awareness of tourism options and the environment.
Young people have an environmentally friendly attitude, so resorts with beautiful natural
landscapes and clean environments are the choice of many young people. After analyzing and
comparing the travel behavior of 2 generations. This study has suggested new research directions
for future studies.
In addition, Vo (2021) studied the factors affecting the intention to return to a tourist
destination of tourists. This study explored a different dimension than previous research. For the
tourism industry, understanding the factors that affect customers' intention of return is the
foundation for satisfying their satisfaction. On that basis, the author selected Da Nang as a
survey site with the intention of retraining domestic tourists. Therefore, the author has come up
with solutions to help businesses grasp the needs of customers. Data was collected through face-
to-face interviews. The authors sent out 280 questionnaires to individuals of different ages and
professions participating in tourism in Da Nang during the research period., However, the
authors only received 260 valid samples. The data was then processed and analyzed by the
author group. The analysis process has shown that the intention of returning to Da Nang tourist
destination is influenced by 4 main factors. The first is service quality. Visitors especially attach
9
Travelling habits of Banking Academy students of both genders

importance to the service factor at a tourist destination. This factor determines whether they
return to that tourist destination or not. In addition, good service quality will help visitors
remember and introduce the place to others. Second is safety. Street theft or tourist scams are
common in many places. This is a problem that causes discomfort and anxiety among visitors.
Therefore, tourists pay great attention to security when they travel somewhere. The third is
convenience. Research shows that tourists often experience some inconvenience in moving and a
few other problems. Integrated tourist areas with many amenities are chosen by tourists to return
to. Fourth is hospitality. Tourists care about people's attitudes towards the places they visit.
Locals receive tourists with a hospitable attitude, which is a requirement that tourists take
seriously. Based on these results, the authors also gave advice to improve the effectiveness of
the process of implementing local tourism activities in the future.
Another study was conducted by Huynh et al. (2022) on the status of young people's
participation in experiential tourism. Experiential tourism is a form of tourism that gives visitors
the opportunity to experience real life in new environments. This type of tourism is quite new
and is a trend for young people today. Primary data was collected through a survey of 399
students at Nguyen Tat Thanh University with a pre-prepared questionnaire through two forms:
face-to-face interviews and online interviews on the Internet to analyze tourism needs. The
experience schedule is based on the criteria of time, form and means of travel; trip purpose;
tourist attraction; reasons for choosing the destination; length of stay; and activities you want to
experience during your trip. After collecting primary data from the questionnaire, it is processed
and analyzed by software with descriptive statistics mainly in the form of frequency (%), in order
to assess the status of students at Nguyen Tat Thanh university participating in experiential
tourism activities. So, this is an exhaustive study of students' needs for a particular tourism
activity. The survey results show that the current trend of experiential tourism is increasing along
with the change in the needs of tourists, especially young people.
The characteristics of young people's demand for tourism have been analyzed in a study by
author Vo surveying students at Nguyen Tat Thanh University in 2022. Newbold and Jamal's
research also pointed out the tourist characteristics of young people and compared these
characteristics with people of a different age group. Another aspect compared to the above two
studies, conducted in 2021, it has shown the factors that motivate visitors to return to a tourist
destination. However, the above research articles have not focused on specific students except
10
Travelling habits of Banking Academy students of both genders

for the 2022 study. The 2022 study is not representative because it only focuses on a specific
type of tourism. In addition, there have not been many studies on the frequency of student travel,
nor have any studies been conducted at the banking academy among freshmen. A new
perspective will be evident in my research paper.
3. Method
A project to show the prevalence of tourism among banking academy students and the
characteristics of their travel habits. This study was conducted to answer 3 main research
questions. The methods used in this study are both qualitative and quantitative methods. The use
of both methods has yielded sufficient data in a detailed and in-depth manner. In detail, the
quantitative research method has obtained data showing the frequency of tourism activities
among banking academy students. Meanwhile, the qualitative research method has collected data
showing the students' views on tourism and their requirements for a tourism activity.
The data for this study was collected based on a questionnaire consisting of 12 questions.
This questionnaire has been designed to answer the 3 main research questions of the research
paper most fully. In detail, the questionnaire has all questions designed as multiple choice. These
questions were easy for students to answer, and data was collected quickly and accurately. These
figures show the frequency of student travel and the general characteristics of most students in
their travel habits. Out of these 9 multiple choice questions, 5 questions are open-ended. These
questions gave students the freedom to add elements of their own except those that already
appeared on the questionnaire. The questionnaire with 2 questions number 7 and 12 allowed
students to make their own views and choices about what they care about and value in their
tourism activities.
The data for this study was collected at the banking academy. With the aim of obtaining
quick and accurate data, this study was collected from a survey conducted by banking academy
students. The first step in the data collection process is to create a table of 12 questions. In the
next step, this questionnaire was distributed directly to 200 students studying at the banking
academy at random. The researcher then collected these questionnaires from selected students.
Then the data was collected and analyzed for the study. As a result, the study has obtained
important data showing the real context of current tourism activities in the banking academy
student community.
4. Results
11
Travelling habits of Banking Academy students of both genders

The data has been collected from a survey of 200 banking academy freshmen. In which, the
number of students of two different sexes did not have a big difference. Specifically, 109 female
students and 91 male students participated in the survey. As expected, the results successfully
demonstrated the characteristics of freshman travel habits

It is obvious that the greatest percentage of students go on a trip sometimes in a year,


with a 73% participation rate, followed by the rate of students who rarely travel, at 16%. A
minority of the proportion of students who travel very often, frequently, and almost never, at
11%.
Figure 2: The frequency of going 2 types of tourism

Looking into the details in figure 2, the percentage of students almost never on a long trip
(more than 1 month) a year accounts for seven in ten per cent. Only a small percentage of
students travel once and twice a year for a long trip, at 24% and 6% respectively. None of the
students surveyed responded that they go on long trips more than twice a year.
12
Travelling habits of Banking Academy students of both genders

Regarding short trips (Less than 1 month), the rate of students going on a trip once a year
is as prevalent as those travel two times, at 31%. Followed by travelling 3 times a year, at 15%.
A small percentage of students travel four, more than four and almost never frequently a year, at
23%.

Looking into the details in figure 3 the highest proportion of students who regularly
traveled between 1 and 7 days, it makes up nearly a half, at 47%. Followed by trips lasting 1 to 2
weeks, at 42%. The rate of students travelling from 3 to 4 weeks and more than 1-month account
for a small minority, at 11%.

As shown in figure 4, summer is the most popular season that people choose to go on
trips compared with others, it made up two-thirds. Followed by spring, with a 23% participation
rate. The least popular seasons are winter, with 8%, and autumn, at 4%.
13
Travelling habits of Banking Academy students of both genders

In specific, in figure 5, parent is the most prevalent subject deciding how many days a
trip will last, it accounts for a larger proportion, at 67%. Followed by student, with a 27%
participation rate. A small minority of friend made a decision for the extent of the excursion, at
6%.

Looking at the details provided in Figure 6, Nha Trang is the most popular destination,
which was chosen to return, at a half. Followed by Da Nang, with a 36% participation rate. The
percentage of students deciding to choose Hanoi to return to visit accounts for a small
proportion, at 12%.
14
Travelling habits of Banking Academy students of both genders

Interestingly, in Figure 7, 50% students are interested in the quality of where they stay
during travel, which was 17% higher than the figure of easy access factor. It is obvious that there
is the higher percentage of people care about the prices than guaranteed security factor. There is
nearly the same rate of people who attract to a clean environment, friendly persons, and various
forms of entertainment with the figure at around 41%.
15
Travelling habits of Banking Academy students of both genders

Looking into the details in figure 8, the ratio of people choosing adventure tourism is
55%, which was 23% higher than that of cultural tourism. The second highest rate of people
chose leisure travel, at 48%. There are the same proportion of students choosing ecotourism and
sea travel, at 41%.

As shown in figure 9, More than half of students think that tourist areas need to pay more
attention to the environment to attract more tourists, while the percentage of students who think
that prices need to be more reasonable is the lowest. Followed by security and the quality of
hotels or motels have the same percentage of students choosing, 14% higher than the percentage
of students who think that the number of amusement parks should be expanded. 38% of students
are interested in traffic probems and the number of restaurants in tourist areas.
16
Travelling habits of Banking Academy students of both genders

It is clearly seen from the graph that the percentage of students who consider the diversity
of amusement parks as an important factor in their decision to return to a tourist destination is the
highest, at 58%. There is a roughly equal percentage of students that consider security, scenery,
hospitality, variety of cuisines and affordability of accommodation to be essential factors, at
around 40%. Nearly half of the students chose security as the most vital factor in deciding to
return to a location, at 47%, while the rest of the factors were chosen by fewer students, less than
40%. Most of the surveyed students think that the 6 factors mentioned are crucial or most crucial.
The percentage of students who consider the importance of these factors to be not, poor, or
moderate is only a small percentage of less than 30%, except for the human attitude factor, at
35%.
1. Discussion of findings
The study aims to investigate the frequency and attitudes of students participating in
tourism and some characteristics of their travel experiences. Like other research projects, this
study is limited in scope. The study is unlikely to answer questions about every aspect of the
topic of youth travel. The data was collected to a limited extent when the participants were just a
group of people from a university. However, the study still fully answers the three main research
questions of the paper and is representative thanks to the diversity of perspectives and
experiences of the students. The three main issues of the study are discussed in detail in the
remaining sections. (1) Frequency of travel. (2) Factors affecting the choice of a destination. (3)
Factors influencing the decision to return to a place.
5. 1. Frequency of travel
17
Travelling habits of Banking Academy students of both genders

As can be seen in Figure 1, most students take part in an occasional trip for a year, almost
three-quarters of the total number of students surveyed. The proportion of students who rarely or
almost never travel makes up nearly one-fifth of the total. Frequent or very frequent travel
accounts for only a small percentage, at less than a ten. The frequency of students taking
different types of travel can then be seen in Figure 2. Almost three-fourths of surveyed students
indicated that they almost never take a trip that lasts more than 1 month a year. Less than a
quarter of students take a long day trip once a year and a very small percentage go twice.
Meanwhile, more than three-fouths students take a short trip (less than 1 month) 1 to 3 times a
year. Only a few students hardly ever take short trips or take short trips with high frequency 4 or
more 4 times a year.
Another previous study by Huynh (2014) also explored the aspect of student travel
frequency on a larger scale in Can Tho city. Despite the difference in location, the results of both
studies showed similarities when both were surveyed on the same student population.
Specifically, Huynh's research (2014) has shown that nearly 80% of students tend to travel 1 to 3
times a year. Most students move with an average frequency. A relatively small percentage of
students do not travel, more than 20% in 2013. In explaining the above results, the author has
pointed out several reasons for the occurrence of this frequency of student travel. First, students
are subject to income dependence. Because the majority of students are subjects who are still in
school and receive monthly allowances from their families for almost all expenses, such as daily
living expenses, and study expenses. Including the cost of each trip. In addition, the results in
Figure 5 show that nearly 70% of students indicate that parents are the ones who decide where to
travel. This has also shown the dependent of students. However, students have quite a high
demand for tourism. This is influenced by the requirements of learning, research, psychology of
discovery, learning new things. The second reason comes from the increasing competition in
society, the qualification requirements for a person improve over time. This leads to great
pressure on students. Therefore, the need for entertainment and relaxation for students is quite
high. However, as mentioned above, students do not have financial autonomy yet. Therefore,
most students tend to travel in a year with a low frequency, and the trips are usually only short-
term because monetary constraints. Another study by Huynh, Phan and Tran (2022) also showed
a similar result. In detail, the pressures of life and study have a relatively high influence on the
need to relax, have fun, regain the spirit, or satisfy the curiosity and passion for travel among
18
Travelling habits of Banking Academy students of both genders

students. Leads to a fairly common participation in annual travel among students with an average
frequency. This coincides with the findings of the study, where nearly three-quarters of the
students surveyed travel occasionally every year.
5.2. Factors affecting the choice of a destination
As seen in Figure 7, seven factors include environment, people's attitudes to tourism,
prices, variety of amusement parks, quality of accommodation, security and mobility factors in
the area. There is a high percentage of students interested in learning about places to visit.
This result can be corroborated by several previous studies. A study by Duong and Dinh
(2021) investigated the attitude of students of the Academy of Journalism and Communication
with the issue of environmental protection. The results of the study have shown that students
have a fairly good awareness of the current environmental pollution problem and have an
awareness of the need to protect the environment. Specifically, one data of this study indicates
the level of students' interest in the environment. From 40% to more than 62% of students are
interested in environmental issues. In addition, 53.5% are interested in how individuals/ family
can act to protect the environment. This has shown the high awareness and interest of students
about the environment, the student's interest in the environment in tourist resorts is also among
them. Another study by Nguyen (2016) studied the factors affecting the choice of a tourist
destination, in the case of Ho Chi Minh City. The results of the study have shown that the image
of the resort is an important factor affecting visitors. Specifically, the image of a tourist area
includes the environment, infrastructure and accessibility to the destination, hotel system,
entertainment and relaxation conditions and a few other factors. This explains why many
banking academy students choose the ease of transportation, quality of accommodation, and
variety of entertainment areas as important factors leading to a decision to choose a destination.
The price factor is also chosen by a high percentage of students. It is because students are
financially dependent on their families.
5.3. Factors influencing the decision to return to a place
The results in Figure 10 have shown the impact of 7 factors on the decision to return to a
tourist destination. For most students, over 60% of the total participants, the factors listed were
rated as vital or very vital. Only a small percentage of students consider these factors to be of
little or no importance.
19
Travelling habits of Banking Academy students of both genders

A study by Huynh and Nguyen (2017) has shown the factors affecting the decision to return
to tourism of tourists, including students. The results show that the image of the tourist area
encompasses landscape, services hotel, diverse amusement parks, security and safety, prices,
cuisine, and human attitude have an impact on students. In addition, another study by Thomas
and Quintal (2010) has also shown the same thing, that is, the presence of the above factors in
students' thinking about the decision to visit a place more than once time.
6. Recommendation
From the above discussion, some of the following recommendations can be taken into
account. First, hotels and hostels in tourist destinations should improve service quality. Many
students surveyed are interested in the quality of accommodation when visiting tourism. This
factor even affects the intention of returning to a place. Therefore, the result of this improvement
in service quality will attract more returning students. Second, leaders at tourist sites should
improve the environment, transport infrastructure and the quality of security. For example,
strengthen surveillance at tourist spots to ensure that visitors are not attacked or robbed. This will
increase the image value and confidence of the resort among student visitors. Third, people in
tourist areas can open shops to sell food or souvenirs. These will be good job opportunities for
the people of the resort to earn a potential source of income. At the same time, this also impacts
on attracting more tourists to visit and increasing visitor satisfaction when coming here.
1. Conclusion
In conclusion, this survey showed characteristics of students' travel participation
including frequency of travel, time usually spent on a trip, destination decider, time of year to
travel, and students' attitudes toward tourist destinations. On an issue that has been little studied
before, this study adds to the gap. In particular, research on factors affecting the decision to
return to tourism is a very rare aspect that has been done before on students, and there is no
survey on banking academy students. At the same time, research has shown important
requirements for students deciding to choose a destination and return to a location. This is a
useful resource for the tourism industry in general and those in the tourism industry in particular
at the attractions. After the issues discussed, the study gave recommendations for specific
subjects. In order to further investigate this topic on students, further research will be carried out.
