Project Description – Delivering Great Customer ServiceIn this project, students apply the basic concepts and tools of customer service to create a comprehensive proposal addressing customer service challenges for a specific hospitality and tourism business or destination. The driving question for the project is, “How can we, as customer service consultants, advise a hospitality- or tourism-related business to improve its customer service?” The students work cooperatively in groups of four. Each group chooses (or is assigned) a company from a list compiled by the teacher.
