Catalate’s team of experts is digging into the biggest challenges that park and attraction operators and owners face today — and how to resolve them.

The ticketed attraction industry comes with unique aspects that make it complicated to ensure you are providing your guests a memorable experience, rather than just a product or service. As guest behaviors evolve, companies are scrambling to understand what exactly guests expect and how to deliver to higher standards with a seamless customer journey. Additionally, the pressures of dealing with unpredictable attendance, running multiple departments, and feeling the pain of being short-staffed pose constraints to operational planning, never mind preparing for a potential economic downturn. 

Join us as we unpack critical pain points that parks and attractions encounter and discuss strategic solutions that will help safeguard your attraction in any circumstance. These solutions aren’t just for your guests; attendees will learn ways to remove barriers to success and insights to improve internal operations to ensure better employee and guest experiences in the future.

You will learn: 

  • Changing expectations of modern guests & attracting new customers
  • Balancing seasonal demand and how to drive revenue growth year round  
  • How to navigate technology solutions & automation for scale
  • Predicting operational costs & mitigating seasonal staffing issues 
  • Explosion of data. Everyone has first party data but what do you do with it? 

Catalate is a pricing, e-commerce, and distribution company that empowers parks and attractions to drive more revenue online. As the only online ticketing platform and pricing solution purpose-built for attractions, they have developed successful pricing strategies for hundreds of partners across $1 billion in online sales globally.
