Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.Data accumulated from Consumers' Association surveys are designed to be used by the consumer. The surveys are, therefore, very specific in nature and the subjects covered diverse. The Data Archive holds 19 such surveys. Readers are asked to note that, with the exception of the surveys on the Telephone Service - 69004, 69016, respondents surveyed are self selected from subscribers to the Association's magazine <i>Which?</i> and so the surveys cannot singly be used in descriptive accounts of the British public. Surveys 69005-69012 cover various aspects of the housing experiences of <i>Which?</i> readers who moved house in 1967 and 1968. It is here particularly important to remember that the choice strategies and the resources of <i>Which?</i> readers are unlikely to be typical.

Main Topics:

Topics covered include: the resort (amenities available and respondent rating); if first time at resort, reason for choice is given; the hotel (respondent rating on a value-for-money basis); skiing facilities (i.e. instruction in English, ski-lifts, restaurants etc.) together with lay out of runs, safety restrictions etc. - assessed with all levels of skiers in mind; pre-holiday preparation (i.e. preparation for skiing - `dry-skiing' facilities used, pre-ski exercises done - assessed for usefulness); travel arrangements and cost (i.e. how booked, assessment of agency service if used, method of transportation, cost of package holiday and what the price included etc.); insurance (how arranged, cover of policy, cost of premium, satisfaction with outcome of any claims made); skiing equipment used; membership of skiing or touring clubs; previous skiing experience; main reason for going on a skiing holiday.
