Dossier trap erin: HOE REISORGANISATIES HUN KLANTEN MISLEIDEN

28 september 2018
misleiden REISLEIDSTER

Een tijdje terug viel mijn oog op een artikel in de krant (Leeuwarder Courant, Sneon&Snein editie, 9 juni 2018). Over reisorganisaties die hun klanten misleiden met beloftes. Zij kopten met “Dossier trap erin” en hebben hierbij een toffe ‘bullshitbingo voor reizigers’ geïllustreerd (door Anne Stalinski). Links staat wat er beloofd wordt door de reisaanbieder, rechts staat wat je in werkelijkheid krijgt. Bijvoorbeeld: “rustieke omgeving” betekent “je brood 30 km verderop halen” en “koffie en thee gratis” betekent “huiswijn €15”. Ik moest hier wel om lachen.

 

Hoe reisorganisaties hun klanten misleiden

Stel je voor: reisorganisaties selecteren de allergoedkoopste en slechtste accommodaties om te contracteren. Hierdoor hebben ze een lage inkoopprijs. Vervolgens gaat een tekstschrijver aan de slag om de boel te romantiseren. Hoppa, de verkoopwaarde is verhoogd. Dan: klanten om de tuin te leiden. Want: als de boeking eenmaal binnen is, is het geld binnen. Klinkt logisch, toch?

 

Van vooraf opgemaakte reisbrochure naar verwachtingsmanagement

Vroeger, lang voordat ik in de reiswereld werkte, boekte men zijn vakantie via een reisbureau of een reisbrochure. Alle informatie stond al vast. Hij boekte op goed vertrouwen van de adverteerder. En dan maar hopen dat de vakantie zo beleefd werd als hij vooraf hoopte. En zo niet, dan was het gewoon heel erg jammer. Als je als reiziger een klacht had kon je deze per post opsturen, met een ellenlange procedure van communicatie heen en weer.

Tegenwoordig wordt er bijna geen gebruik meer gemaakt van reisbrochures. Ik kan me nog de laatste brochure van mijn oud-werkgever Bizztravel herinneren, ik meen seizoen 2014/2015. Het is haast niet meer voor te stellen dat prijzen vooraf (nagenoeg) vast staan, en je referentiekader puur gebaseerd is op brochures of reisbureaus.

Vandaag de dag draait alles om verwachtingsmanagement. Want: een teleurgestelde vakantieganger betekent online geraas. Je hoort er als reisorganisatie bijna niet meer bij als je niet per accommodatie reviews ter beschikking stelt. En heeft een accommodatie een slechte beoordeling, dan klik je ‘m snel weg. Want: klantervaringen zijn betrouwbaar.

 

Hoe reisorganisaties hun klanten NIET misleiden

Nu in het besluitvormingsproces online reviews een cruciale rol spelen, willen reisorganisaties hun klanten niet meer misleiden. Als ze dat al ooit wilden. Maar het is en blijft nou eenmaal moeilijk om informatie van -tig accommodaties en -tig bestemmingen helemaal up-to-date te houden. Zeker in de tijd toen je product nog met een brochure gepresenteerd moest worden. Tegenwoordig kunnen reizigers zelf alle vakanties naast elkaar leggen, ratings checken en online reviews bekijken vóór ze hun vakantie boeken. Informatie is überhaupt niet achter te houden. De klant heeft het voor het zeggen en is kritischer dan ooit.

Een negatieve beleving wordt veel sneller gedeeld dan een positieve. Reisorganisaties beseffen zich maar al te goed dat een blije klant staat voor een terugkerende klant. Maar ook voor extra klanten vanwege goede reviews. Zeker de laatste jaren zetten reisorganisaties zich in om juist verwachtingen te overtreffen. Geloof je dit niet? Dan komt dat waarschijnlijk omdat positieve ervaringen veel minder snel aan de orde komen dan negatieve.

Mijn conclusie: klanten bewust misleiden in de reiswereld is helemaal niet zo vanzelfsprekend als sommige mensen denken. Misleiding komt (helaas) wel eens voor, maar dit zal meestal niet met kwade opzet zijn. Ga niet gelijk van het negatieve uit.

 

Wat als jouw verwachtingen toch niet waargemaakt worden?

Met alle informatie die een reisorganisatie biedt, moeten zij een goed en compleet beeld geven van jouw vakantie. De ANVR stelt dat de reisorganisatie hulp en bijstand moet verlenen als de reis niet verloopt zoals de reiziger op grond van de overeenkomst redelijkerwijs mocht hebben. Die term redelijkerwijs blijkt nogal een breed begrip (geloof me), maar de meeste mensen zullen het zelf wel in kunnen vullen. Als je teleurgesteld bent over de uitvoering van jouw reis(onderdeel), laat dit dan aan de organisatie zelf weten. Bied hen een kans om het op te lossen. Bovendien helpt jouw feedback de reisorganisatie om in het vervolg hun klanten wél een fijne beleving te bieden.

Tot slot nog een tip voor reisorganisaties: houd je informatie up-to-date. Ik zie zo vaak voorbij komen dat bijvoorbeeld een accommodatie omschreven wordt als “net gerenoveerd” terwijl de renovatie jaren geleden plaatsvond. Lijkt iets kleins, maar kan klanten toch behoorlijk teleurstellen. Daarnaast voelen klanten zich nog steeds gereld niet gehoord. Dat is zonde. Klantfeedback is gratis! En het helpt zoveel om voor alle klanten in de toekomst een betere beleving neer te zetten dan ooit.

Heb jij zelf een ervaring waarbij je je wél misleid voelde? Voel je vrij ze met me te delen.
