Having grown up in Queenstown, New Zealand I was exposed quite a bit to the tourism industry and how it works.<\/p>\n
The cornerstone of it locally is the information centres. \u00a0There are a handful of them all vying for your attention. \u00a0As if they can get you in the door they can take 10% commission of all your bookings.<\/p>\n
They are tremendous due to the competition they have realised the only way to compete is superior customer service, ensuring people will maximise their spending with you.<\/p>\n
I’d like to see online information centres, you can browse in, talk (or chat) to a live help, then they redirect you to a service that will solve your problem. \u00a0If you end up doing business they take a commission.<\/p>\n
This wouldn’t work mass market but certainly within certain high value niches.<\/p>\n
Just a thought, there are millions struggling with one problem or another out there.<\/p>\n
