Recommended Action

• Since TripAdvisor has millions of reviews, it is difficult for


them to handle such a large volume manually.

• Also, based on the parameters used in our framework,


Alternative 1 wins over Alternative 2 by 3-2 i.e- Timeliness,
Number(Volume) and Reviewer’s reputation.

• The Company needs to perform a cost-to-benefit analysis


for the Alternative 1 and can choose a tool that fits to their
business requirement.
Handling Negatives of Not Choosing
Alternative 2
• Lack of emotional response and identification the review quality is the biggest
problem that TripAdvisor would face if they go with Alternative 1

• To Handle this problem, they can use AI and ML based tools, which are more
effective in giving personal touch to the review response .

• Also, they can differentiate between their reviewers based on number of


reviews they did and manually respond to their loyal reviewers.

• They can use image-for-coupon technique to increase the volume and


credibility of reviews.
