Visitor Experience, Dispersal & Trails

Extend stays. Spread the benefits. We help destinations create trails, hero experiences and itineraries that drive dispersal, supported by operator readiness and consistent visitor experience delivery.

What you will achieve

By the end of this work, your destination will have:

  • A clear dispersal strategy grounded in bookable experiences

  • Curated trails/itineraries that are easy to understand, plan, and deliver

  • Stronger visitor readiness across operators (consistency + reliability)

  • Better shoulder season alignment (product, packaging, events, messaging)

  • Practical recommendations that connect visitor experience with infrastructure and services

An implementation plan for rollout and stakeholder alignment

What we do

1) Identify dispersal opportunities

  • Where visitors should go next (and why)

  • What experiences can anchor dispersal across seasons

2) Curate trails + itineraries

  • Build trail themes that match visitor intent (food, nature, culture, wellness, family, events)

  • Ensure trail stops are realistically deliverable and bookable

  • Define anchor experiences and supporting experiences

3) Strengthen visitor readiness

  • Operational consistency: hours, capacity, service standards, booking readiness

  • Product structure and clarity so visitors can choose easily

4) Shoulder season planning

  • Experience packaging and activation ideas

  • Event alignment and cluster planning (where relevant)

5) Align with infrastructure and wayfinding

  • Identify friction points affecting visitor experience

Provide recommendations for wayfinding, services, and readiness improvements
