RFP Monitoring Travel Sentiment in Long-Haul Markets Q&A

Question 1: Annex A presents how the index score is calculated. Is it correct that the slider's calculation points between 40 and 60 are totally excluded? So we should use only 0-40 for negative (divided into two clusters with specific weights) and 60-100 for positive (also with two specific weights).

Slider values between 40-60 are excluded from the calculation of the Sentiment Index only. When the Sentiment Index is calculated, the specified weights must be applied.

The rest of the survey results, which are not related to the sentiment (e.g., which destination people want to visit, how long they plan to stay, what transport they wish to use, etc.), are based on the sample of all respondents, which placed the slider on 50 or more in the sentiment question. I.e., weights are not used for the analysis of these questions.

Question 2 Could we get an explanation of what you mean by iFrames? Is it a dashboard? Have you already done it, and do we only have to give the data in a specific way that is ready to be entered in the Dashboard?

An iFrame (short for inline frame) is an HTML element that allows you to display dynamic content like graphs and charts from an external source within a desired page – in this case, the ETC Dashboard.

For this project, the awarded consultant shall extract data for selected questions and then create iFrames that can be easily integrated into ETC’s dashboard.

This means that the contracted consultant needs to present the data in a visual format (such as charts, graphs, or tables) in an iFrame . The ETC dashboard would then display this embedded content.

The following sources could provide some ideas of what an iFrame is and how it functions, W3Schools – HTML iFrames and MDN Web Docs – The Inline Frame element
