Vicky Brock from www.trackingtourism.com is starting a blog post serie about "Are customer comment cards worth the effort? Part 1"
As usual, I am amazing by the indeep analyse from Vicky and their original thoughs.

Vicky point out the question : "Do customer comment cards deliver useful benefits to tourism and hospitality businesses?"

and explain

"In part 1 of this post I will explore my concerns with over reliance on comments cards as a research tool. In part 2 (to follow) I will look at how tourism businesses can get more from comments cards, through systematic analysis and combining them with other data sources."

So, a post for the travel pro readers (hotelier, travel marketing guys, DMO's management, etc)
