Awareness of the non-visible signage of the tourist office in the Village des Marques and therefore an action plan that will improve it (window sticker, change of name of the store space + work on the signage by the Village des Marques management)
More complete information for the customer; faster research for the client, and therefore less waiting for him (eg: lists, organization of brochures, etc.)
Constant questioning about our working methods thanks to internal meetings set up monthly: better cohesion and communication in the team, better distributed tasks, and therefore easier projects to carry out.
The customer is well informed about the services offered by the TO thanks to the product description sheets (eg those of Steph for its brochure) => dynamic, commercial team, able to serve the customer.

A foolproof professional attitude
Harmonization for all the TO services concerning customer care (telephone and physical reception thanks to the Instruction Sheets among others)
Better know-how thanks to the drafting of operating procedures
Optimized versatility for everyone thanks to the existence of Operating Modes

Awareness of the entire team of the issue of sustainable development
Rational use of paper (recycling, printing on drafts as soon as possible and systematic use of both sides)

Almost systematic consideration of the customer's opinion => systematic questioning
Better promotion of in-store products (thanks to questionnaire analyzes and suggestion sheets). Better visibility, extension of the range, withdrawal of certain products not satisfying the customer => good adaptation of supply and demand
More efficient working methods

Guarantee the quality of service for customer satisfaction.
Obtain recognition from tourism stakeholders, whether professional or institutional.
Larger-scale goal : improve the competitiveness of the FRANCE destination

To conduct a reflection oriented towards the "visitor" by taking stock of the expectations of the public not met.
To increase tourism activity due to the expansion of customer targets and customer loyalty.
