Whilst the rest of the world didn\u2019t travel, the Hospitality and Tourism industry certainly did not go \u2018on holidays\u2019. Everybody kept working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring confidence back into the travel world. That\u2019s why in this article we are going to observe three hospitality and tourism customer-centric approaches to restore travel confidence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be Present<\/strong>\u00a0across Multiple Digital Platforms<\/p>\n<p>Hospitality and Tourism Operators can no longer afford to choose which digital platform to navigate today. The absence or poor presence from different social media platforms prevents your brand message to be seen and heard by a wider travel audience. In fact, to customize storytelling according to the type of audience that navigates that specific platform is an opportunity for today\u2019s hospitality and tourism operators to build relationships. That is not only with their ideal customers but also with those who are directly influencing the choices of their customers (aka their children, spouse, parents\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>In one of my recent articles, I highlighted the 6 reasons why\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doloressemeraro.com\/brand-message-fails\/\">hospitality and tourism<\/a>\u00a0companies fail to create a brand message that resonates when creating compelling content across multiple digital platforms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be Available<\/strong>\u00a0To Your Customers<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s hyper-connectivity requires hospitality operators to have a full-time online multi-platform presence. Travelers are active on a variety of digital channels \u2013 at the same time \u2013 interacting with hospitality brands, planning their next travel route on OTAs (On-Line Tour Operators) and checking reviews on peer-to-peer websites. With the increasing amount of digital resources on hand, a digitally well-versed travel audience wastes no time in trying to find your customer service email address. They prefer to get in touch directly through their platform of choice.<\/p>\n<p>Long gone are the days when a Direct Message on a Hotel Instagram Account wasn\u2019t even considered a potential booking inquiry.<\/p>\n<p>Review your online customer support strategy across the following platforms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Social media chats<\/li>\n<li>Customer Service chats<\/li>\n<li>Emails<\/li>\n<li>Hotlines<\/li>\n<li>FAQ<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Answering real-time travelers\u2019 inquiries become a necessity for those hotel and travel operators wanting to keep a direct communication line with their customers. In many cases, asking any of these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doloressemeraro.com\/20-questions\/\">hospitality and customer-centric<\/a>\u00a0questions can prevent travelers\u2019 loyalty to drift away.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be Authentic<\/strong>\u00a0to Build Advocacy<\/p>\n<p>The more time our travel audience spends online, the faster they get at spotting fakes. Ultra-polished imagery and edited videos do not have the same influence as before. Travellers are constantly scouting the digital world for real and authentic proof before making their travel plans. The proof is often found in customers\u2019 reviews. Then, how can you best leverage this type of content and build authenticity around your message?<\/p>\n<p>Here are 3 simple tips for you to take action:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Repurpose your best customers\u2019 reviews<\/strong>\u00a0from the most traditional review sites onto your social media, website, direct mails. Show others \u2013 and those who follow you already \u2013 what their peers are saying about you, building trust by default.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Encourage video referrals\u00a0<\/strong>made by your loyal followers and existing customers. Video consumption online is soaring. It\u2019s one of the best ways you can share a message quickly and effectively.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Join them if you can\u2019t beat them<\/strong>\u00a0by showing the human side of your hospitality brand, its people, their routine, and their dreams. As a result, have your team co-host a live broadcast or a video on your hotel or business social media platforms. Then, repost it on your website. People buy from People.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Clear communication and a customer-centric strategy are two key steps hospitality and tourism operators are taking to restore travel confidence.\u00a0 Travel Recovery is high on everyone\u2019s agenda. And by envisioning a future of travel where hospitality and tourism operators are open to listen and take action is where confidence in travel will truly be rebuilt.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Written by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.doloressemeraro.com\/about\">Dolores Semeraro<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If uncertainty has tainted the global outlook of travel, why do we see travel confidence rising ahead?
