Abstract [en]

This study aims to study the concept of Interrail and its importance for students' train journeys when it comes to students' portraits of train tourism. The empirical data has been collected through a qualitative method. The implementation of the method has been done through semi-structured interviews with college/ university students. The theoretical material is based on Lena Mossberg and Monica Hanefors (2007) reasoning on Storytelling, as well as Scott A. Cohen, Girish Prayag and Miguel Moital (2013) reasoning on consumer betting. 

The results show that the Interrail concept is based on six steps which is 1, freedom. 2, flexibility. 3, value. 4, connection. 5, comfort. 6, support. Interrail offers an adventure element but also at the same time a safety element. The traveler knows that they have their ticket, they know where it is valid and for how long. If the traveler's intention is to travel around several countries, Global Pass is the best option. On the other hand, if the traveler only wants to visit a particular country, One Country Pass is the best option. Train tourism gives students the chance to experience different landscapes and villages, something that air travel does not provide the opportunity for. In addition, train tourism gives students an option to leave everyday life aside and have more freedom. Trains as a travel option give students the chance to experience Europe in a new way. By visiting several different cities, cultures and enjoying different landscapes, train tourism creates an educational experience for young people to reflect on their life.

Abstract [sv]

Denna studie syftar till att studera konceptet med Interrail och dess betydelse för studenters tågresor när det kommer till studenters porträtt av tågturism. Det empiriska datamaterialet har samlat in genom en kvalitativ metod. Genomförandet av metoden har skett genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med högskola/ universitet studenter i åldrarna 22 till 25 år. Det teoretiska materialet bygger på Lena Mossberg och Monica Hanefors (2007) resonemang om Storytelling samt Scott A. Cohen, Girish Prayag och Miguel Moital (2013) resonemang om konsumentbeteende. 

Resultatet visar på att Interrail koncept bygger på sex steg vilket är 1, frihet. 2, flexibilitet. 3, värde. 4, anslutning. 5, komfort. 6, support. Interrail erbjuder ett äventyrselement samtidigt som det ger ett säkerhetselement. Resenären vet att de har sin biljett, de vet var den är giltig och hur länge. Om resenärens avsikt är att åka runt i flera länder, är Global Pass det bästa alternativet. Å andra sidan om resenären bara vill besöka ett visst land, är One Country Pass det bästa alternativet. Tågturismen ger studenter möjlighet att uppleva olika landskap och byar något som flygresor inte ger möjligheten till. Dessutom ger tågturismen studenter ett alternativ att lämna det vardagliga livet åt sidan och ha mer frihet. Tåg som resealternativ ger studenter chansen att uppleva Europa på ett nytt sätt. Genom att besöka flera olika städer, kulturer och njuta av olika landskap skapar tågturism en lärorik upplevelse för ungdomar att reflektera över sitt liv.
