In 2021, What Does the Ultimate Visitor Experience Entail?gjhassin
Is your venue like hundreds of others -- sick of signage that is expensive, goes unnoticed, and is a pain to update again and again? Plus, paper maps are environmentally unfriendly and, with Covid, go untouched and unused.
So if signage and paper maps are out, how can venues still share their beauty and history while empowering their visitors to explore everything the property has to offer?
