CATCH-UP: How to build visitor numbers to an attraction in an emerging economy

With reduced discretionary spend, safety concerns about public places and new home-habits becoming the norm, leisure providers will need to work much harder to prise consumers out of our their new home-based leisure habits. Getting feet through the door of your visitor attraction involves more than just a good marketing strategy. Admissions drive the majority of income on site, a large proportion from entry fees and a secondary proportion from retail and F&B spend. Sabine Lehmann will discuss how to increase visitor numbers and build on a domestic visitor base.
