The touristic customer journey

This customer journey map is divided in three stages: pre-travel, travel and after-travel. It consists of basic journey map details such as a text description and visualizations. Furthermore, we included a channel overview and the activities that happen backstage. Also the high-level travel experience is linked in the journey, so you can jump to that for a greater overview.
