As an attraction professional, you know that the guest experience is everything. When guests have a positive experience, they’re more likely to return, spend more money, and recommend your attraction to others. But how can you create a truly memorable guest experience?

One way is to implement guest-driven transactions. Guest-driven transactions (GDTs) are a new way of thinking about customer service and hospitality. They focus on creating an experience beyond just the transaction and instead create an atmosphere that customers want to return to.

Here are just a few of the benefits of GDTs for attractions:

  • Increased revenue: GDTs can help you increase revenue in several ways. First, they can make it easier for guests to purchase tickets and other products, leading to increased sales. Second, GDTs can help you upsell guests on additional products and services. Third, GDTs can help you collect more data about your guests, which you can use to target them with more relevant marketing messages.
  • Decreased lines: GDTs can help you decrease lines by making it easier for guests to check in, purchase tickets, and buy food. This can lead to a better guest experience and increased satisfaction.
  • Improved guest satisfaction: GDTs can help you improve guest satisfaction by making the entire transaction process more efficient and convenient. This can make guests feel valued and appreciated, leading to repeat visits and positive word-of-mouth.

Why Spending More Time with Menus and Less Time in Lines Financially Benefits Attractions

people getting carnival foodWhen guests spend more time with menus and less time in lines, it can have a number of financial benefits for attractions. For example, guests spending more time with menus will likely invest more. And guests who spend less time in lines are more likely to visit additional attractions and spend more money overall.

In addition, guests with a positive experience with GDTs are more likely to return to your attraction. This can lead to increased revenue and repeat visitation.
