TTG has teamed up with React Surveys to simulate a realistic booking process each week – that means a mystery shopper looking for the
best deal from agents and operators on the high street, online, on TV or in newspapers. The Mystery Shopper research is carried out on behalf
of TTG by React Surveys, and no further details or information can be disclosed. Researchers take into consideration first impression, sales
process, product and budget match and extras offered before giving an unbiased opinion of which channel/company they would have booked
with on that occasion. We do not claim that the winner is the best in an area or specialist sector, as we may report on competing travel firms in the future. Please note TRAINING FOR TRAVEL
that the aim of Mystery Shopper is not to criticise individual agents or companies, but to promote good sales technique for the benefit of all in the travel trade. group ltd
