The business of tourism has become a fiercely competitive global cyber-market. To many, this cyber-market is as confusing to the layman as the terminology or ‘Geek-Speak’. But never fear, for Tourism Tattler have launched Tourism Support Services just for you. By Des Langkilde.
The Service Center is fully integrated with an online HelpDesk ‘Chat’ facility, which is located at the bottom left-hand corner of every service center page. Questions that the user may have are answered in ‘real-time’ by a ‘real-person’ at the other end of the ServiceCenter. Enquiries can also be submitted through our Support Center Enquiry form.Service Center Commitment Through the service center we look forward to supporting your business, responsibly and confidentially with your goals, aims and expectations in mind.
