Analysing field survey of Guesthouses in the Maldives

From August to September 2016, I conducted a field survey of Guesthouses in the Maldives to obtain information about the education and work experience of Guesthouse owners/managers as well as the quality of the environment where the hotels are located. The sample Guesthouses were randomly (stratified) chosen from the population of all Guesthouses that post their prices on booking.com. Geographically, I restricted the survey to islands where more than two Guesthouses are in operation and the atolls that are close to the international airport because this reduced our travel time and costs. This yielded a sample of 166 variables for 147 Guesthouses and 24 islands across 5 atolls. Here I will continue to present a descriptive analysis of the key variables.
