Abstract
Assessing Tourism Classifications in Biyahe ni Drew Documentary shows increased its popularity during the pandemic when people spent most of their time in the comfort of their homes because of limited outside activities and travel restrictions. The Tourism Industry which has been greatly affected by the pandemic is slowly getting back in operation. The researchers came up with the study entitled, “Assessing Tourism Classifications in Biyahe ni Drew Documentary Show in the Travel Interest of Tertiary Students of a Private University in Cavite.STI College Global City Amidst Coronavirus Pandemic.” The researchers want to determine if the travel documentary show, “Biyahe ni Drew,” has significance, affecting the students’ interest to travel. In this study, we used the quasi-experimental research method as it is the best method to use to determine the relationship of the variables. In gathering the data, we used a 4-point Likert scale: level of agreement to determine the effectiveness of the show. A video compilation of “Biyahe ni Drew” featuring travel classifications used in this research study has also been given to the respondents for them to watch and to serve as their source and guide to respond. Based on the findings, the researchers conclude that “Biyahe ni Drew” is effective in boosting the students’ interest in travel and the highest interest in travel is ecotourism. The researchers also conclude that the preference to travel falls with gastronomy, adventure, and man-made attractions. This study is recommended as a future reference to future researchers, producers of travel documentary shows, and the tourism industry. This study may be critiqued and replicated in future studies of a similar nature.
