Voice tech for camping activities
Over the last year or two, a new business tech trend has emerged: voice. Between Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri, people everywhere are embracing smart assistants. In fact, 47.3 million adults in the US now have access to a smart speaker. That’s 20% of the country’s adult population!
Smart technology has become increasingly ubiquitous in our lives. Be it to have a check on the temperature, having Alexa to order things online, or your smart TV that links to your online streaming services, smart tech is everywhere. It is therefore only logical that organizations (public or private) that deal with tech-savvy consumers must find ways to embrace and leverage technology in their product and service delivery. This holds equally true for park & rec agencies as well. Park and rec agencies can provide a plethora of additional content via a voice app, like season dates, visitor and pet policies, park amenities, check-in and -out times, and even a park’s activities schedule.
Parks and recreation agencies have a lot going on. They have to manage recreation facilities, promote conservation, create fresh programming, improve health and well-being in the communities they serve, along with a ton of other important things.
Why should park and rec agencies consider adopting a voice strategy?
Recreational activities, especially camping have changed a lot with time. The final objective for every park and rec agency or a campground owner is to provide their visitors /campers with great customer experience. Voice technology, when used with a purpose, can help augment these interactions with your park visitors. A voice strategy can help campground owners in achieving that goal. Below are some reasons why you should consider creating a voice app, or as Alexa calls them, skills for them.
Give your visitors or campers the experience they expect
In an era where instant gratification is everything, nailing your visitor’s camping experience is a big part of your organization’s long-term success. With automation of repetitive tasks, you’ll be able to offer your campers an unparalleled convenience and ease of access while also giving them the information they need without the constraints of a 9-5 workday in the form of:
- Reduced response time for their queries
- More time for your team to focus on larger customer experience objectives
- 24×7 access to help for your visitors via smart speakers
