Why and how to choose a digital attraction? Simply put, a digital attraction can help leisure and attraction industry professionals – such as trampoline parks, FECs, soft play locations, fitness clubs as well as hotels and resorts – become successful and stay relevant for their millennial and centennial visitors. However, digital attractions can no longer be simple but need to entertain one or more people for longer periods, while generating repeat visits.

Enhance Repeatability and Play-Value

It’s quite obvious that a digital attraction has the potential to be a lot more beneficial than an analogue one in ensuring repeatability and high play–value. However, what should be taken into consideration when deciding what kind of digital attraction to choose? And even more so, what are the exact product or service features that make sure that you will gain fast ROI and have a steady stream of new and current customers walking through your doors?
