Over the last five years, I have had the great pleasure of visiting the Gulf Region on several occasions. Even though I have never quite managed to turn my visits into vacations, I have always found the people I have met and the places I have seen, to be immensely welcoming, accommodating and interesting.

There are some companies that are recog nized for their customer service. It’s their focus, they have built their brands around it, and they’re good at it.

Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
