What do we mean by ‚conflict‘ ? • ‚Conflict‘ means, that two or more people have different interests and/or different needs. • A conflict is not necessarily known by both the parties. There are more ‚hidden‘ conflicts than open discussions !
Why to speak about conflicts? • In tourism we want to fulfill customer‘s needs - so we have to find out the interests, needs and wishes of our guests. • We also have to keep an eye on all factors affecting employee knowledge and accuracy - their needs are important for us !
