Big Five launches inventive luxury travel Concierge Services

April 23, 2009 - PRLog -- Stuart, FL –  Big Five Tours & Expeditions is expanding its White Glove Service initiatives, which was inaugurated last year.  Beginning April 1, 2009, Big Five will have a unique, customized Big Five Concierge Service desk for its luxury travel guests.

White Glove Service will begin before guests leave home, with a phone call to introduce them to the new services available. In addition to our in-country managers, guests will now also have 24-hour access to the Big Five Concierge Service team, which means that, regardless of time zone or global location, guests can speak to a live person – not a recording or voice mail system – who is empowered to take immediate action on their behalf.  

“We are never farther away than a phone call.  When our White Glove and Concierge Services are coupled with our travel insurance terrorism coverage, we have raised the bar when it comes to guest comfort and satisfaction,” says Ashish Sanghrajka, president of Big Five.    

Other luxury travel services (http://www.bigfive.com) offered can be customized to the degree the clients need, and range from restaurant recommendations to personalized gift services for the selection, wrapping and delivery of one-of-a-kind gifts.   Guests will also be able to access up-to-the-minute information on everything from stock quotes to relevant travel delays as well as a host of emergency services at no additional charge.  

“In the end, the Serengeti Plains of Tanzania will look the same whether you are traveling with us or one of our competitors.  What is clearly not the same is the level of service and the personalized experience each guest receives,” Sanghrajka states.  “Our goal is to offer both our guests and our luxury travel agent partners complete assurance that, in the event an issue arises, it can be immediately addressed and, where needed, corrected in real time.  Big Five’s entire guest relations process stems from a deeply rooted belief throughout Big Five that each guest deserves 100 percent every time and every step of the way.”
