The leading tour operator in the Baltic States Novaturas Group strengthens its relations with customers and takes over the core business of its subsidiary “Sofa Travel“. This decision enables the Compay to centralize customer service processes, make them more efficient and improve customer experience. The process itself will not affect the clients.
Centralization of customer service processes is one of the planned steps to make Company's own sales channels more effective. According to the Company, it will help to adapt to the newly forming traveling habits, improve the experience of the travelers, maintain high standards of services provided and strengthen Novaturas brand. It is planned that the centralization of customer service processes will also optimize the expenditures.
"Today direct contact with the travelers and securing their trust is more important than ever. Safe, comfortable traveling, strengthening the experience of our customers are our top priority goals while taking over „Sofa Travel“ core business to Novaturas Group. We aim to reinforce Novaturas position in the customer service segment. This is a part of our long-term strategy targeted to strengthen our market leader's position,” says Audronė Keinytė, Head of Novaturas Group.
