The foundation works on various topics, including tourism (the annual analyzes are considered a "trend barometer for the tourism industry"), leisure, media, as well as numerous future topics (future of work, values, the city, consumption).

method

The research work is based on qualitative and quantitative methods - in addition to key question interviews and small group discussions, the focus is on regular representative surveys on which the time series research is based.
