Client Case

How Noorderhuis engages travellers with a branded conversational AI agent

Custom individual and guided group travel to the Nordic countries.

The Problem

Noorderhuis wanted to tackle two key challenges on their website:

  1. Making 25+ years of specialised travel expertise easily discoverable by the right visitors.
  2. Reducing friction in the customer journey to increase meaningful engagement and travel enquiries.

Despite having plenty of information online, visitors struggled to find what they needed—and calls-to-action weren’t converting as expected.

Why Maya?

Noorderhuis chose Maya for its human approach to AI:

  • A responsive, collaborative team
  • A tool that adapts to the website rather than forcing change
  • A natural, conversational interface that enhances—not replaces—the existing site experience

They were initially unsure whether their audience was ready for a conversational AI. But what they found was that those who wanted to use it, did—and they converted better.

Results

Nanoek – powered by Maya – now guides potential travellers to their perfect trip faster, answers key questions, and connects them with a Noorderhuis expert who already understands their needs. This has removed friction in the customer journey and made it easier for visitors to convert into leads.

After deploying their branded conversational agent, powered by Maya, Noorderhuis measured a 50% increase in website engagement, as travellers gained a low-friction alternative to filter-based searches.
