After years of studying, I can proudly say that I finished eve- rything and that I am graduated.

The pro- cess of the master thesis, from the beginning till the end, reflects these previous years perfectly.

Therefore I would like to thank the ones who helped and supported me. I want to start by thanking my colleagues at Estonian Holidays and especially Maila Saar, Lars Saar and Mari-Liis Makke.
