194 words
Purpose – The scope of this research paper was to determine the level of service
quality provided by the Grand Tour department towards the Grand Tour candidates as
well to measure the satisfaction, and the expectations of the students choosing to
study abroad via this program.
Methodology – This paper used a survey mainly composed of closed questions, but
also few open-ended questions were included, using quantitative analysis in order to
understand the perceptions of the students about the Grand Tour program.
Findings - The main findings of the study were that the students were somewhat
satisfied with the program, however they missed reliable information, certain facilities
upon arrival and at the campus and visa assistance; they expected promptness,
communication skills as well as food and living conditions in concordance with the
costs they paid.
Recommendations – Improvements on service should be considered based on the
findings; more researches should be done every semester as to stay up to date to the
needs and expectations of the candidates.
Value – This research is significant for the Grand Tour employees in order to improve
their service quality and meet the needs and expectations of the students willing to
study abroad.
