It’s almost that time of year again! The start of the summer season means kicking off the year’s busiest time for tourism, entertainment, beaches, and more.
Across the country (and the world) people will be making plans to visit their favorite, or new, destinations for some R&R. With the COVID-19 pandemic now hopefully in the rearview mirror, and after two years of lost time, we expect people will be more active than ever heading to the beaches, concerts and sporting events, national parks, and the full gamut of entertainment destinations near their homes and afar.
Your organization is likely already taking steps to prepare for the summer activity by incorporating strategies to create the most convenient and pleasant experience for these visitors. One major issue that should not be overlooked is parking.
Even over the past few years parking technology has evolved significantly. There are many things you can do to make sure your parking facility or lot is a seamless experience that doesn’t take away from the excitement of a vacation or outing.
Touchless parking solutions are the perfect option to serve the tourism crowd. In many cases, people will be visiting destinations that they don’t typically get to. The hassle of downloading a new parking or payment application they have not used and likely won’t again not only takes time away from their day but creates an obstacle between their arrival and their destination. ParkEngage Touchless Self-Parking and Touchless Valet Parking solutions eliminate the need to download these apps and allow visitors to simply pay for their parking through their mobile device.
Another benefit to implementing touchless parking solutions is the limited upfront costs. Many of these destinations from beaches to outdoor entertainment venues are seasonal, wherein they only experience large numbers of visitors during warm weather months. Therefore, it may not be prudent to install costly equipment that will only be utilized part of the year. Touchless parking solutions reduce the need to purchase parking equipment, eliminate the costs of paper tickets, and even limit the number of staff required to support a site.
ParkEngage has worked with numerous clients to enhance the parking experience at entertainment destinations throughout the country. Check out our recent integrations at Yankee Stadium and the Atlanta Zoo for a quick look at just how digital parking can create amazing parking experiences to complement these momentous events.
