An AI follow-up interview digs into the real story behind a recent trip, surfacing moments of friction or delight that closed-ended ratings miss.

Q09
AI Interview
Reconstruct the real story of the respondent's most recent vacation: why they chose that destination, one moment that exceeded expectations and one that fell short, and how those moments connect to their overall satisfaction rating. If they rated satisfaction low or gave a low recommendation likelihood, probe specifically what would have changed their mind. If cost concerns came up in the pricing questions, ask what specifically felt worth paying for versus not.

What’s included
AI follow-ups
Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Pairs closed-ended questions (trip frequency, booking channel, satisfaction ratings, Van Westendorp pricing, MaxDiff trade-offs) with an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs the real story of the respondent's most recent trip — surfacing friction and delight moments that ratings alone miss
- Uses a Van Westendorp price sensitivity module for a one-week vacation package, giving travel brands and tour operators defensible pricing signals, not just a single 'how much would you pay' question
- Automated per-response quality scoring and auto-generated reports mean teams get analysis-ready output instead of raw export files to manually code
- Transparent prompts let travel and hospitality teams see exactly what the AI asked and why, rather than trusting a black-box scoring system
Jotform
Prospective Travel Client Vacation Form TemplateThis is a prospective-client intake form built for a travel agency's sales workflow, not a research survey about vacation planning and satisfaction. It's a fielding-ready form, but its purpose (capturing lead details for booking) differs from a structured satisfaction/behavior study. Relevant to the travel space but a different use case than a market-research template.
What it does well
- Purpose-built for capturing prospective traveler contact and trip preference details
- Drag-and-drop Jotform builder makes it easy to customize form fields
- Fielding-ready out of the box for a travel agency intake flow
Where it falls short
- Designed as a client intake/lead form, not a satisfaction or planning research instrument
- No adaptive follow-up questioning — a static field set with no ability to probe deeper on any answer
- No structured pricing methodology (e.g., Van Westendorp) or trade-off analysis (e.g., MaxDiff) built in
SurveyMonkey
Vacation Survey Template + Example QuestionsA straightforward, fielding-ready vacation survey template with example questions covering trip planning and preferences. It's a solid generic starting point but relies entirely on fixed-choice and rating questions. No mechanism to explore the 'why' behind a rating beyond whatever open-text box is included.
What it does well
- Established survey platform with broad distribution and analysis tooling
- Ready-to-use template with example questions to speed up setup
- Familiar interface for teams already using SurveyMonkey for other research
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview — cannot dynamically probe an individual respondent's specific trip story
- No voice interview option or guided screen-share tasks
- No published methodology for how responses are scored or summarized, unlike a transparent-prompt approach
SurveySparrow
Vacation Survey Template | Gather Travel PreferencesA conversational-style vacation survey template focused on gathering travel preferences, in keeping with SurveySparrow's chat-like UI. It's fielding-ready but still a fixed question flow — the 'conversational' feel is a UI treatment, not adaptive branching driven by the content of an answer.
What it does well
- Chat-style presentation may improve completion rates versus a traditional grid of questions
- Template is pre-built for the vacation/travel-preferences use case
- Mobile-friendly conversational format suited to shorter preference surveys
Where it falls short
- Conversational UI is a display style, not true adaptive AI questioning based on prior answers
- No pricing sensitivity methodology (e.g., Van Westendorp) or destination trade-off analysis (e.g., MaxDiff) included
- No automated quality scoring or auto-generated qualitative report of respondent stories
QuestionPro
Travel survey questions | Travel questionnaireA broader travel questionnaire/survey-questions resource rather than a single narrowly-scoped vacation planning-and-satisfaction template — it reads more like a question bank and template hub than one fielding-ready instrument. Useful as a reference for question ideas, but requires assembly into a coherent survey flow.
What it does well
- Large question-bank style resource covering various travel research angles
- Backed by QuestionPro's broader survey logic and reporting platform
- Useful as a starting reference for teams building their own travel questionnaire
Where it falls short
- Presented as a general question library/template hub rather than one purpose-built vacation satisfaction survey with a defined flow
- No adaptive AI interview or voice-based follow-up to dig into an individual trip's story
- No built-in Van Westendorp pricing or MaxDiff trade-off modules specific to vacation decision-making
