Why is it important to collect user feedback at airports?

Airport restrooms are incredibly busy places, frequented by millions of travelers flying between countries every day. Globally, there are about 17,000 airports, serving over 2 billion passengers annually: maintaining high standards of hygiene in such high-traffic environments is essential for public health and safety.

User feedback can help identify areas where hygiene practices may need improvement, such as increasing the frequency of cleaning, ensuring the availability of hand sanitizers, or implementing measures to reduce the spread of germs.

Is there an easy way to collect customer feedback?

Good news: there is!

Smiley feedback devices have recently taken over airports all over the world. Especially after COVID-19, high-traffic areas such as restrooms or boarding lounges have implemented these devices to gauge passenger satisfaction and collect real-time feedback on cleanliness, service quality, and the overall airport experience.

What’s more, they correspond to new standards of cleanliness born during and after COVID-19, where hygiene and sanitation in public spaces are key.
