HSMAI Region Europe ønsker TripAdvisor velkommen som medlem av tre nye Advisory Boards
Fredag 1. september kunngjorde HSMAI Region Europe at TripAdvisor har sluttet seg til tre nye, paneuropeiske Advisory Boards (rådgivende fora): Service Operation, som konsentrerer seg om HSMAI Region Europes nyutviklede «Winning for Customers – The Service Pledge», som er bygget på det kjente, norske HSMAI-konseptet Serviceløftet. Dernest Customer Loyalty & Relationship Advisory Board, og Destination Marketing Advisory Board. TripAdvisor, som er verdens største reiselivs-nettsted, er allerede medlem av HSMAI Region Europes Digital Advisory Board.
TripAdvisor kommer også til å delta under HSMAI Region Europes Leadership Day i Frankfurt tidlig i september, samt at avtalen for inneværende år også innebærer at mange TripAdvisor-ansatte blir medlemmer i HSMAI, som såkalte corporate members.
– Vi er svært fornøyde med å fortsette samarbeidet vårt med TripAdvisor, og over å ha dem som aktive medlemmer i våre Advisory Boards, forteller HSMAI Region Europes President & CEO Ingunn Hofseth i en kommentar, og fortsetter:
– I dag handler alt om kunde- og brukeropplevelsen. Alt blir mer og mer transparent, og booking og søkemotorer stadig mer profesjonalisert. TripAdvisor er den perfekte samarbeidspartneren for oss, siden HSMAI Region Europe, sammen med våre rådgivere har utviklet en metode og prosess for å bygge servicekvalitet for såkalt change management og relation management. I sommer arrangerte vi de første workshops i London og Oslo, som forberedelse for noen kandidater som nå er blitt sertifisert som Executive Coaches for vårt nye program, Winning for Customers – The Service Pledge.
Tripadvisors Global Director of Industry Relations, Helena Egan, slutter seg til dette, med denne tilføyelsen:
– Vi er meget tilfreds over å utvide samarbeidet vårt med HSMAI Region Europe, for å samarbeide med bransjen og fremme bevisstheten rundt fordelene ved å samarbeide med TripAdvisor.
