About the #HELPME observatory
Study on travel forums. The study focuses on 11 countries: Austria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and
the United Kingdom, Australia, China and the United States. For each of these countries, between five and ten travel forums were
selected from the most highly ranked sites, featuring a total of several million comments over the five year period. The forums were
selected from a search in Google, using the following search criteria: ‘Forum + Tourism’, ‘Forum + Travel’, and ‘Forum + Holidays’.
Only the forums which ranked the highest and which fulfilled to the following criteria were selected: popularity, presence of a
dedicated tourism area, presence of cross-cutting topics, comments coming from a country’s nationals.
