Dal momento che l’industria del vino è in continua crescita, vi è una tendenza alla ricerca di esperienze legate alle città vinicole. Inoltre, vi è la preoccupazione di capire non solo chi è il turista del vino, ma come le strutture possono migliorare la loro esperienza quando si tratta di visitare la regione vinicola. Si dice che l’esperienza del cliente è ciò che rende successo ai prodotti turistici, quindi, è qui che l’applicazione pratica della progettazione del servizio, dei suoi strumenti e dei metodi di co-creazione potrebbe portare un approccio diverso al prodotto turistico, aggiungendo valore a ciò che il marketing sta già facendo. L’impatto di questi metodi potrebbe essere importante perché essi sono in grado di identificare le aspettative dei clienti al fine di soddisfarli e ottenere più informazioni su di loro. Questo può essere fatto attraverso l’applicazione di nuovi strumenti che si adattano ai nuovi modi di visitare, vivere e promuovere destinazioni turistiche del vino. L’applicazione viene visualizzata attraverso il caso studio del paese del vino di Mendoza. Mendoza è una delle città più importanti dell’Argentina per la qualità dei vini e i suoi paesaggi spettacolari ai piedi delle Ande. Le industrie del vino e del turismo si sono sviluppate molto velocemente negli ultimi dieci anni, aumentando in modo significativo il numero di visitatori ogni anno. Questo “mondo nuovo” di destinazione del turismo del vino è ora in competizione con i paesi produttori di vino più importanti dal mondo. Lo studio è stato fatto sperimentando vivendo il paese vinicolo attraverso diverse fasi, al fine di analizzare, mappare e identificare eventuali problemi o opportunità del sistema del turismo del vino. I risultati dello studio, dopo l’applicazione di strumenti di progettazione di servizi in diverse cantine, dovevano cercare di migliorare sul periodo post-vendita e sulla soddisfazione del cliente. Portare una possibile soluzione per migliorare l’esperienza del cliente, creando il proprio diario del vino, per condividere e pubblicare le proprie esperienze, identificando e valutando i punti di contatto dei tour enologici, al fine di dare un feedback positivo o negativo per le aziende vinicole e gli stakeholder principali. Creando un passaparola positivo e una buona reputazione del paese del vino di Mendoza.

Abstract
As the wine industry keeps growing there is a trend in the search for wine destination experiences. Moreover, there is a concern to understand not only who the wine tourist is but how wine country destinations can enhance their experiences when it comes to visiting the wine region. It is said that the customer experience is what makes the success of the tourism products, therefore, here is when practical application of service design, its tools and methods of co-creation could bring a different approach to wine touristic products, adding value to what marketing is already doing. The impact of these methods could be relevant because they can identify customer expectations in order to meet customer satisfaction as well as gaining customer insights. This can be done through the application of new tools that fit with new ways of visiting, experiencing and promoting wine tourism destinations. The application is shown through the case study area in Mendoza wine country. Mendoza is one of the most important argentinean cities for its wines quality and spectacular landscapes at the feet of The Andes. The wine and tourism industries have developed really fast in the last ten years, significantly increasing the number of visitors each year. This “new world” wine country destination is now competing worldwide with the most important wine destinations countries in the world. The study was done by experiencing the wine destination from different stages in order to analyse, map and identify possible problems or opportunities in the wine tourism system. The results of the study, after the application of service design tools in several wineries were to seeking improvements on the post-service period and customer satisfaction. Bringing a possible solution of enhancing customer experience by creating their own wine journal, to share and publish their experience, by identifying and evaluating the wine tours touchpoints, in order to give positive or negative feedback to the wineries and main stakeholders. Enabling positive word of mouth and dissemination of Mendoza wine destination country.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
