The Live Video Connect is another initiative reiterating Thomas Cook India and SOTC’s accelerated digital transformation. The customer empowering feature enables one-on-one contact/discussion with the Companies’ holiday experts in real-time, without having to download additional software/apps or visit a physical store.

  • Step 1: Scan the QR code
  • Step 2: Input details (name/phone number/email) and connect directly; or choose a preferred time slot for a call

Thomas Cook & SOTC’s unique hybrid Clicks & Bricks model, harnesses the speed and efficiencies of technology with human expertise and reassurance. The Companies have successfully demonstrated innovation, agility and digital astuteness in consistently leveraging technology to drive scale of change in delivering benefits for customers and the business.
