The Exceeding Visitor Expectations course, delivered by Tourism South East, has been designed specifically for visitor attractions. It combines the expertise of VisitEngland’s Visitor Attraction Quality Scheme and the experience of the renowned Welcome to Excellence training programmes to help staff and volunteers avoid the pitfalls of customer service. This short online course is suitable for staff and volunteers engaging with visitors.
Exceeding Visitor Expectations will help participants to:
- Identify what your attraction and the area where you work has to offer
- Understand who your visitors are and what they need and expect
- Meet, manage and, whenever possible, exceed visitor expectations
- Welcome visitors from all sections of the community and provide an accessible service
- Communicate successfully with visitors
- Use product/ destination knowledge to provide information and advice in an inspiring way
- Deal effectively with challenging situations
- Act as an ambassador for your attraction and local area
