研究方法:本研究为定量研究。定量研究是一种将重点放在研究数据收集的客观测量风格。数据收集是通过问卷调查、民意调查等方式完成的。还可以利用现有的统计数据。使用定量数据的优点是，可以从较大的总体中收集数据，并且这些数据可以在总体中推广。因变量和自变量之间的关系可以得到验证，本研究还研究了相关性。因果关系可以研究(Walle, 1997)。使用定量研究，研究人员将能够收集一个更收敛的推理风格，而不是一个分歧的。这里的研究是为了了解一些变量之间是否存在相关性，以及研究中假设的假设是否成立，因此定量研究风格更适合。数据收集工具:研究人员使用调查问卷。这是一种有用的方法，可以从许多参与者收集数据，并可以包括开放结束和封闭结束的问题。包括的问题都是封闭式的。收集问卷数据，SD，使用excel工具了解显著性水平。数据表示也使用Excel。
参与者:本研究的参与者是参加美食节和葡萄酒节的游客。参与者将收到一份调查问卷和一份同意书。在从参与者那里收集数据之前得到参与者的同意是至关重要的，因为同意是重要的，首先得到他们的同意是合乎伦理的。采用随机抽样的方法，选取150名受试者进行研究。研究人员想要找出参与者明年参加展览的动机，并以此为框架提出问题。其中一些动机问题是参与者参加活动是为了逃避日常生活，还是与朋友、志同道合的人一起，作为一种新的体验、文化体验等等。我们亦会收集参加者的人口统计资料，以及他们对当日活动是否满意的资料。这个问题包含在这样一个假设中:如果参与者对当前的事件感到满意，那么他们就更有可能参加未来的事件。一个需要直接理解的问题是，他们是否会参加未来的活动也在考虑之中。

Research Methodology: The research being employed is a quantitative research. A quantitative research is one that would focus on an objective measurement style for research data collection. The data collection is done by questionnaire survey, polls, and more. Pre-existing statistical data might also be made use of. The advantages of using quantitative data are that data can be collected from a larger section of the population, and this data can be generalized across the section of population. Relationship between dependent and independent variable relationships can be verified, and the research also studies correlations. Causality relationships can be studied (Walle, 1997). Using quantitative research, the researcher would be able to gather a more convergent reasoning style than a divergent one. Here the research is for understanding if there are correlations in some variables, and if the hypothesis assumed in research is true, so the quantitative research style is better suited. Data Collection Instrument: The survey questionnaire has been used by the researcher. This is a method which is useful to collect data from many participants, and can include both open ended and closed ended question. The questions included are closed ended. The questionnaire data are collected and SD, and significance levels are understood by using the excel tool. Data representations are also made using Excel.
Participants: The participants for this research are the tourists who attend the food and wine festival. The participants are presented with a survey questionnaire and a consent form. It is critical to get the consent of the participant before data is gathered from the participant as the consent is important, it is ethical to get their consent first. 150 participants were selected for the research by means of a random sampling method. The researchers wanted to find out the participant’s motivation to go to the show next year and as such framed questions in this angle. Some of the motivation questions asked were whether the participant attended the event as a form of escapism from daily life, or with friends, with likeminded people, as something of a new experience, cultural experience and more. The demographic data of the participants are also collected along with information on whether the participant is satisfied with the day’s event. This question is included with the assumption that if a participant is satisfied with a current, event then they would be more likely to attend future events. A direct question to understand, if they would attend the future events is also considered.
