The Country Living Christmas Fair provides a variety of stalls for people to visit. The same principle that determines why people move from place to place (Al-Haj Mohammad and Mat Som, 2010) can be applied to booths at this show. Push and pull factors can be used to determine what makes a booth more attractive to people. I chose to evaluate the relationship of push and pull factors and how they effect the amount of business a stall attracts. With this I wanted to be able to assess what pull factors make one booth more appealing than others while identifying similar attributes in busier stalls that might affect their specific visitor volume relative to less busy stalls.
