The owners are also aware that existing theme parks employ concepts such as customer journey, customer experience and customer mapping in their marketing activities as a means to differentiate what they do and build customer loyalty. In designing your theme park it is critical that you consider these three areas. YOU may focus at a holistic level i.e. the whole park or look at one element of the larger park. Your brief is to produce a business report 1) Explain what customer journey, customer experience and customer mapping mean in the context of the theme park you design. 2) Outline with examples how they can be used. You need to identify industry best practice from a range of existing theme parks to guide you in developing your examples.
