Why is it important?

The findings show that the importance of the touchpoints of a trip differs. The hotel stay decisively determines the holiday experience, while the flight has no significant influence. Moreover, process excellence is important during the travel journey while emotional aspects are meaningful in the hotel.

Perspectives

After 10 years working for TUI it was great to analyse the experience quality of a sun & beach holiday and to elaborate implications for the future configuration of a holiday trip.
