The Programme is aimed at helping tourism attractions and businesses reach the highest standards in customer care, which can result in major benefits such as business growth, additional repeat business, increased visitor spend and positive recommendations.
Speaking at the presentation of the accreditation to Clonabreany House, Martina Bromley, Head of Enterprise & Hospitality at Fáilte Ireland said that the Programme is an important aspect of Fáilte Ireland’s business development and training supports.
“The Accredited Service Excellence Programme is aimed at helping tourism businesses strengthen competitiveness and to help differentiate Ireland from its international competitors as a location where the customer is at the centre of everything a business will do. It provides an opportunity for the Irish tourism industry to be recognised for ‘best in class’ customer service and great visitor experiences and we are delighted to present Clonabreany House with its accreditation.”
Mary O’Neill of Clonabreany House said:
"At Clonabreany House our mission is to deliver excellent customer service to all our guests, as an exclusive wedding venue. Customer service is at the core of our business, and the customer service excellence course undertaken by my team has given us the edge in the business with regards to the standard we now have in place. My team thoroughly enjoyed the course and they found the content was very interesting and beneficial, it will also ensure that customer service is at the forefront of everything we do at Clonabreany.”
