A national tourism agency in Malaysia with nearly two decades of experience promotes the country’s cultural richness and drives both international and domestic travel. As a key player in socio-economic development, it actively supports local communities and the tourism sector. 

To sustain growth and enhance visitor experiences, the agency turned to Nubitel to modernize its customer engagement strategy. By implementing advanced contact center solutions and digital CX tools, the agency streamlined operations, improved multichannel communication, and delivered more efficient, personalized services to both local and international travelers. 

Challengers 

Every industry faces hurdles, and the tourism sector is no exception. These challenges have disrupted operations, slowing progress and hindering growth. The agency has acknowledged these roadblocks and is committed to overcoming them. Below are the key issues they have encountered: 

• Agents are required to handle voice, email and live chat:
  Many contact centers expect agents to manage multiple communication channels simultaneously. However, juggling voice calls, emails, and live chat sessions can lead to inefficiencies, slower response times, and increased agent fatigue. Without an integrated system, agents may struggle to switch between channels seamlessly, leading to inconsistent customer experiences and potential service delays. 
  
  

• Not enough agent to support so automation is critical 
  A shortage of agents means longer wait times, increased customer frustration, and potential loss of business. To maintain service quality, automation is essential to handle routine inquiries, streamline workflows, and reduce agent workload. AI-powered chatbots, self-service portals, and automated workflows can help bridge the gap by managing repetitive tasks, allowing human agents to focus on complex customer interactions. 
  
  

• Lacks insights to their overall engagement support 
  Without proper analytics and reporting tools, businesses struggle to gain a clear understanding of their customer interactions across all channels. The absence of real-time data and insights hinders decision-making, making it difficult to identify trends, agent performance gaps, and areas for improvement. Implementing an advanced analytics solution can provide a holistic view of customer engagement, enabling better strategy formulation and service optimization.
