Why Customer Service is important for Travel Companies?
Customer evaluations, feedback, and positive word of mouth are vital to all types of travel firms (online and offline). A travel company can only succeed if it can meet the expectations of its clients and provide hassle-free travel experiences. Furthermore, maintaining healthy customer ties is equally important, and this is possible only when your services meet your customer’s requirements. Customer service enables companies to proactively manage their efforts to gain customer loyalty.
Key Reasons Why Customer Service is Significant for Travel Companies
Customer Service Influences 70% of All Purchase Decisions
Many factors influence whether a consumer will purchase the products or services of a hospitality business. However, customer service is among the most important. According to a McKinsey study, 70% of all buying choices are customer service affected.
Responding to Travelers Questions
People are staying indoors due to the Covid 19 epidemic. New travel protocols are unknown to most tourists. They've got a lot of questions about the lodging, transportation, and medical services available at the destination. For appropriate post-pandemic promotions, travel companies/agencies can hire travel call center or web chat support. They also provide information on the facilities that are available.
Customer Service Differentiates Travel & Tourism Businesses from their Competitors
Competition within the travel industry is tough and companies are making all possible efforts to stand out from their competitors. Travel companies can distinguish themselves by providing exceptional, positive, and assuring experience to their customers through their customer service team. If the customer has an excellent travel experience, they likely would voluntarily engage themselves in spreading positive publicity about the company, which would surely help the business in more ways than one.
Customers are twice as likely to share a negative experience as they are to share a positive experience.
Customer service is also important in the Travel industry as it influences business reviews. According to an American Express survey, people are twice as likely to share a negative experience with a company as they are to share a positive experience. It is significant because people look for online reviews before purchasing any company's products or services, particularly in the hospitality industry. If an entertainment business gets dozens of negative reviews, other prospective customers will not be permitted to visit and purchase products or services from their establishments.
Is Your Customer Service Team Providing “An Experience” Or Just Service?
