Preferred destination for working holiday
Before having a working holiday, it is important to choose an ideal destination for the trip. For most Hong Kong young people, English speaking countries possibly may be their first choice. Regarding the students surveyed, forms Figure 2.3, a majority of respondents who without actual experience prefers to have their working holiday in Australia and Britain. It could be suggested that respondents who without actual experience threat having working holiday as a trip to improve their English skills and a tool to communicate with local people. It is consistent with answers from respondents who have working holiday experience. All of them choose Australia as their destination. Also, this is consistent with the result of Q8 of the questionnaire regarding the reasons of choosing a place for working holiday, in which around 70% of respondents who with actual experience rank culture as a main factor for their choice.
