Land in Mumbai, walk into the hotel restaurant for a quick meal. The hotel staff come by to leave this on my table as company given I was eating alone. So nice & thoughtful and something that’s never happened in all my travel thus far😊! #CustomerExperience pic.twitter.com/YCsL5riQWK

@TridentBKC could you look at some other form of entertainment 4 ur patrons.This has been tried and tested with fish having2pay for their life. Perhaps a human interaction where in someone in the hotel may meet your patrons and wish them well. This isnt +ive #customerexperience
