How does turnaround time affect the growth of your tourism business?

by Tvisha Sharma - 29th Aug 2022

"Turnaround time" is a term that has gained a lot of popularity and affected businesses of all sizes around the globe. 


Wondering how? 

  • Businesses often make the mistake of overlooking this process

  • In layman's terms, turnaround time is the period taken by a company to revert to their customers from the start of the process till the end of the process till the customer reverts - the complete process

  • Let us understand this better with an example - You are a destination management company or a tour operator receiving an inquiry for one of your tours and your company takes 3 days to get back to them by this time they will lose interest because of your high turnaround time

  • A high turnaround time is experienced by businesses from the customer's perspective if you deliver brochures to your clients and they take a long time to respond

  • Turnaround times are reciprocal

  • Customers that respond quickly will be more involved with your business as compared to those of other companies with slower turnaround times, and this will result in a quicker turnaround time for your customers. Both sides will have a short turnaround overall.

 

This is what turnaround time means in a gist.

 

Why is customer experience important?

 

  • Customer experience is one of the key aspects of having a long-lasting customer base

  • In today's world, there are many companies providing the same service as you, the competition is much cut-throat

  • To sustain any business long-term, having loyal customers is essential

  • Your audience has access to the internet and expects businesses to reply to their questions quickly and with agility

  • Customers also need high-quality interaction or they switch to another company's product in response to unsatisfactory service

  • In order to engage potential new clients who are considering using your services, businesses must also act more quickly

  • A faster turnaround time will help your business in providing a good customer experience

  • Fast turnaround results in lower labour costs because of the use of technology

  • You should aim to reduce turnaround times if you can do so without sacrificing quality.
