At the core of the travel business is customer, or guest, services. Travel providers depend on customer facing teams to deliver services and experiences expected by clients that patronize the brand. With the COVID-19 pandemic in the distant horizon, the travel industry is still feeling some of the effects of global lockdowns in shortages of enthusiastic and qualified entry level workers and a continually shrinking labor pool. Hiring for those guest facing positions is still a significant challenge for travel businesses but when hiring decisions are made, training and onboarding is the next hurdle and can greatly impact the effectiveness and performance of the new hire. Service and quality gaps created by reduced team strength and lack of training / ability can have devastating effects on travel brands that depend on delivering high level guest experiences on a consistent basis. Travel businesses need high velocity and effective training that gets travel hires working faster. AI and machine learning innovations have impacted the travel industry in many areas and travel businesses can see significant benefits when using this technology for training new travel hires.
