 Abstract

The technology has revolutionized the tourism industry today. Many tourism
businesses have utilized the power of the Internet to the fullest in their online as
well as direct marketing initiatives. The business travellers who are an integral part
of the tourism industry are exchanging information than never before as the world
is witnessing a drastic shift in online travel space. This study suggests and tests a
mechanism to assess the perception of business travellers towards adopting
technology while booking their trips. To assess the perception of business
travellers regarding technology adoption, 12 variables were selected. Factor
Analysis was utilized to reduce these 12 variables into 3 factors. A multiple
regression was employed to eventually identify the perception of business
travellers towards technology adoption. The ANOVA (F-test) specifies that the
scale/ factor i.e. “Responses of Business Travellers” was quite significant. Further
statistical Analysis displays that the significant value (p-value) of F-test came out
to be 0.000, which means that all three explanatory variables i.e. service,
awareness and network are highly significant with respect to the responses of
Business Travellers regarding technology adoption

 Research Process
• Identify the research problem or question: The first step in the research process is
to identify the problem or question that the research seeks to address. For
example, a researcher might want to investigate the relationship between social
media use and mental health among adolescents.
• Conduct a literature review: The next step is to review the existing literature on
the topic to identify what is already known and what gaps exist in the knowledge.
For example, the researcher might review previous studies on social media use
and mental health, as well as theoretical frameworks that can guide the study.
• Formulate the research hypothesis or research question: Based on the literature
review, the researcher formulates a hypothesis or research question that can be
tested empirically. For example, the researcher might hypothesize that there is a
negative correlation between social media use and mental health among
adolescents.
 Research Process
• Design the study: The researcher must design the study, including selecting the
appropriate research method, sampling strategy, data collection instruments, and
data analysis techniques. For example, the researcher might choose to conduct a
survey using a validated questionnaire to collect data on social media use and
mental health from a sample of adolescents.
• Collect data: The researcher collects the data using the selected data collection
method. For example, the researcher might administer the survey to a sample of
500 adolescents and collect data on their social media use and mental health.
• Analyze the data: The researcher analyzes the data using appropriate statistical
techniques to test the hypothesis or answer the research question. For example,
the researcher might use correlation analysis to test the relationship between
social media use and mental health.
 Research Process
• Interpret the findings: The researcher interprets the findings, drawing conclusions
about the relationship between social media use and mental health. For example,
the researcher might conclude that there is a statistically significant negative
correlation between social media use and mental health among adolescents.
• Communicate the results: The researcher communicates the results of the study to
the relevant stakeholders, such as other researchers, policymakers, or the general
public. For example, the researcher might publish the results in a peer-reviewed
journal, present them at a conference, or write a report for a policymaker.
• In conclusion, the research process involves several steps, each of which is
essential for conducting high-quality research. By following a systematic and
rigorous process, researchers can ensure that their research is reliable, valid, and
relevant to the research problem or question at hand.
