Hi!
I am writing my final Bachelor Thesis about the tour to the Emberá Indigenous Village in Panamá.

If you have participated as a tourist in a tour to an Emberá Village, it would be great if you could fill out the questionnaire on the following link, which should not take you longer than a few minutes.

If you know anybody else (friends, family, customers) to whom you could pass this link on or if you know tour guides that could collect Email addresses of potential tourists and pass the Email addresses on to me, that would increase the validity of my investigation. :)

The link to the survey is:

Thank you so much before-hand for your time and cooperation, I appreciate it a lot!
