A curated list of Activities, Attractions, and Experiences continuing and encouraging guest engagement during lock-down and shut-in times
During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic lock-downs, experience entities like tours, activities, and attractions struggled to find their way. When your entire business model revolves around people coming to your destination, most operators are unprepared for times of zero visitors. As the duration and severity of these conditions took hold, however, experience operators realized they needed to find ways to reach and engage their audiences virtually. Some just developed ways to one-way interactive; others found ways to generate two-way interactivity; and others came up with new ways to drive revenue.
We here at Redeam have been following and highlighting different examples of these kinds of “new normal” activities. Here’s a list of a few we found.
