All tour companies within the travel industry are unique. Thus, it
is important to tailor your tourism crisis management plan to your
business’s specific needs. A skilled legal advisor can evaluate
your services and make sure your plan addresses all the situations
your employees and customers may encounter.

O Preparation of Feedback or Guest Comment
H Comment Card: A carefully planned and well-written
M comment card is a great tool to allow customers to
T express their opinions and provide valuable feedback on
the customer experience. Comment cards can be a way
to receive complaints and suggestions. Use a
professional printer to print the comment cards, and
make sure they're simple and easy to understand. Make
sure you add the option for customers to mail in their
cards. Keep a stack of customer comment cards near
your reception or exit point. In-store comment cards are
only one method for soliciting feedback. Ask questions
about things you are willing to change, and follow
through on those changes.

O Preparation of Feedback or Guest Comment
H Feedback Form: Customer feedback is essential to
M improving your product, your delivery, and your
T understanding of your users. It’s fundamental to good
customer service.
1. Leave plenty of white space: The form should appear
uncluttered and easy on the eye. A cluttered form scares
people away because it looks time-consuming and hard.
S

H 2. Label the form fields well: To successfully collect
M feedback, make sure what you’re asking is clear and
T concise. This includes being visually clear: Placing
each label close to its corresponding field reduces the
time it takes for a user to complete the form.
3. Don’t make any fields compulsory: Making it as
easy as possible for users to provide even small
amounts of feedback. If the user doesn’t want to
answer one of the four questions, don’t stop them from
submitting the form. Never forget that customers are
doing you a favor—they don’t owe you anything.

H 4. Set the tabbing order: This means marking up the
M form fields during development to create a logical
T flow. This is helpful for desktop and mobile users who
wish to tab through the form using the keyboard rather
than lifting their mouse or finger to move to the next
field.
5. Make it compatible with mobile devices: An online
feedback form should always be responsive (i.e., it
resizes depending on the device it’s being viewed on).
Most feedback form templates should automatically
adjust to the user’s device.

H 6. Write little, but well: Cut down the number of questions
M in the form so it only includes those that have the clear goal
of gaining a better understanding of your users’ experience.
T The fewer questions, the better.
7. Find out what you don’t know: The most useful feedback
helps you learn something you didn’t already know. What’s
hidden in your product that you aren’t aware of? Do your
customers use the product differently than you expected?
8. Create consistent rating scales: If you include more than
one question with a rating scale, make sure that the scales
are consistent from question to question. If 1 is the best and
5 is the worst in one question, don’t change the scale from 1
to 10 on the next question.

H Personalize the form: Use the information you already
M have about your users to personalize the feedback
T process (e.g., “John, can you help us improve our
service by answering some questions about your
experience upgrading your account?”).
