But as well as simplifying what are becoming increasingly complex tasks, says Key Digital, it also provides the park with a host of new marketing opportunities.

Valuable information is provided both before and during guests’ holidays

And in order to install the app, it provides a raft of useful and easily accessed information both before and during their stay.

The app also integrates with most online booking systems, so customers have an at-a-glance update of all their holiday arrangements, including any balance outstanding.

Key Digital MD David Lakins said that Holidaymaker is the result of a year’s development work by his team, and is based on his company’s detailed knowledge of park operations:

“Our aim is to manage individually.

“As such, Holidaymaker is a one-sto them.

“At the same time, app users find their holiday experience enhanced by being able to receive personalised messages and offers.

“The app has been trialled this summer at Beverley Holidays in Devon, and both we and the park are now convinced that it is a game-changer for this sector,” added David.

Beverley Holidays director Claire Flower said she and her team were delighted with how well the app has been received, and the great reviews it is attracting:

“Around 90% of guests at Beverley Holidays are arriving on the park with the app already installed – which means there is already a relationship made with our guests before they have even arrived.

“Launching our first ever app was a bit of a leap into our suite of digital channels,” said Claire.
