旅游与旅馆业的顾客体验成长机会:2023 年全球 - 顾客观点CX Growth Opportunities in Travel & Hospitality: Global, 2023-A Customer Perspective |
不断增长的需求推动人工智慧和自动化投资
自 2020 年以来,旅游和酒店 (T&H) 行业一直是受 COVID-19 大流行打击最严重的行业之一。严格的居家法规和旅行限制对世界各地的客户体验 (CX) 组织造成了严重破坏,创造了 T&H 代理商所需掌握的大量新且不断变化的资讯。
在大流行的早期阶段,T&H 的联络中心因取消订单而不堪重负。 2021 年和 2022 年,随着对病毒的担忧开始减弱,旅游计画加快了。 2023年,由于需求增加,旅游将大幅增加。换句话说,T&H 行业将再次不得不与客户打交道。
疫情爆发之初,由于联络客服人员的等待时间极长,各代客户被迫依赖自助客户互动管道。为疫情后的未来做好准备是旅游与健康公司的首要任务,它们必须满足週期性旅游需求,同时不断改变现场客服和自助服务之间的平衡。
许多公司正在投资联络中心解决方案。甚至更好的是,系统可以透过电话号码自动识别呼叫者,出于安全目的快速验证身份,并主动询问客户来电是否涉及从 XYZ 机场出发的现有预订。我可以。
到 2023 年,随着公司采购可以完全自行处理某些互动的智慧虚拟代理,两种体验之间的差异将变得更加明显。它还使代理商能够更好地与客户联繫,并透过触手可及的提供最相关的资讯来提供个人化的提案。
随着消费者和投资者的要求,永续性和企业社会责任 (CSR) 仍然是经营团队的首要任务。 Frost & Sullivan 于 2023 年 1 月进行的 2023 年全球联络中心调查显示,63% 的旅游和饭店联络中心相关人员认为永续性非常重要或重要。 Virtuoso 于 2022 年 5 月对近 300 名高净值旅游进行的一项调查显示,80% 的受访者表示,疫情让他们希望未来更负责任地旅游。
在过去的年度中,新的互动管道不断涌现,包括更新的互动式语音应答 (IVR)、机器人、更聪明的虚拟助理 (IVA)、品牌行动应用程式和网站等等。
在一个一直在努力满足基本期望的行业中,排长队、机器人和 IVR 无法理解或满足客户的需求,这是最低限度,也是迈向品牌忠诚度的重要一步。第一步是跨通路互动轻鬆、无缝。大约 67% 的 T&H 联络中心相关人员专注于「管理整个客户旅程」。

Pent-Up Demand Compels Businesses to Invest in AI and Automation
The Travel and hospitality (T&H) industry was one of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic starting in 2020. Strict shelter-at-home regulations and travel restrictions created havoc for customer experience (CX) organizations globally, generating loads of new and perpetually changing information that T&H agents needed to have at their fingertips.
During the early stages of the pandemic, T&H contact centers were bombarded with cancellations. In 2021 and 2022, travel plans accelerated as worries about the virus began to diminish. The year 2023 is seeing a tremendous rise in travel due to pent-up demand. This means the T&H industry is once again overwhelmed with customer interactions.
The extraordinarily long wait times to reach agents during the early period of the pandemic forced customers across generations to use self-service customer interaction channels. Preparing for a post-pandemic future is top of mind for T&H companies, as they must navigate cyclical demand for travel with an ever-changing balance of live agents and self-service.
Many companies have invested in contact center solutions that allow customers to choose to receive a callback when an agent is available without losing their place in line. Or even better, the system can automatically identify the caller with their phone number, quickly confirm their identity for security purposes, and then proactively ask the customer if the call is regarding an existing reservation departing from the XYZ airport.
The difference between these two experiences will be much more evident in 2023 as companies procure intelligent virtual agents that can complete some interactions entirely on their own. They can also support agents by providing the most relevant information at their fingertips, allowing them to better connect with customers and offer them personalized recommendations.
Sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) remain major executive priorities because consumers and investors demand them. In Frost & Sullivan's 2023 Global Contact Center Survey, conducted in January 2023, 63% of contact center stakeholders in travel and hospitality considered sustainability very important or crucial. Virtuoso polled about 300 affluent travelers in May 2022 and found that 80% of respondents felt that the pandemic made them want to travel more responsibly in the future.
Throughout the decade, new interaction channels emerged, including refreshed interactive voice response (IVR), bots, more intelligent virtual assistants (IVA), and branded mobile apps and websites.
In an industry that has suffered from meeting baseline expectations with long queues and bots and IVRs that do not understand or deliver what the customer needs, a minimum requirement and a significant step towards brand loyalty is to make the interactions effortless and seamless across channels. About 67% of T&H contact center stakeholders focus on "managing the entire customer journey."
The primary goals of on-line customer survey of contact center IT decision-makers and leaders were to:
