Objective:
Surveys are systematically given to guests to improve communication and satisfaction during their stay. Specifically, these surveys are sent on the second day of reservations, while single-day bookings receive them upon arrival. The strategy focuses on proactive communication, promptly addressing guest concerns, and aiming to create a positive and memorable experience. The objective is to gather feedback efficiently, enabling quick responses and enhancing the overall guest experience. By proficiently managing the survey procedure, we can also mitigate the probability of encountering unfavourable reviews on online travel agencies (OTAs).
