Kuoni will launch a video appointment service for customers later this week, with boss Derek Jones encouraging other travel brands the current situation was “a great time to experiment”.

Jones, chief executive of Kuoni parent Der Touristik UK, revealed the move during TTG’s Digital Destinations Festival on Monday (11 May).

Similar to its in-store process, the service will allow Kuoni customers to book an appointment to discuss their travel plans with an agent specialising in a certain destination.

Jones said Kuoni had been offering video calls reactively “for the last two or three weeks” and had decided to roll out the service more widely.
