Long-Term Extension with Village Roadshow

 

accesso secures 5-year contract extension with Australia's Largest Theme Park
Operator, with the option of a further two years

Contract sees accesso provide virtual queuing, ticketing, guest experience and
distribution solutions

 

accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions
provider for attractions and venues worldwide, has announced an extension to
its agreement with Village Roadshow Theme Parks (VRTP), through which VRTP
will continue use of accesso ticketing, virtual queuing, guest experience
management and distribution technologies at five of its properties - Warner
Bros. Movie World, Wet'n'Wild Gold Coast, Sea World (Australia), Australian
Outback Spectacular and Paradise Country - through 2027, with the option to
extend further through 2029.

 

Since 2018, VRTP has leveraged the end-to-end suite of the Group's
technologies tailored to the attractions industry to deliver a reimagined,
contactless experience for its guests, both on- and off-site. Headquartered on
the Gold Coast, VRTP is Australia's largest theme park operator, welcoming
millions of guests annually to enjoy some of the most thrilling entertainment,
rides and slides available anywhere in the world - from hyper-coasters to
animal encounters and dinner show productions.

 

VRTP's holistic integration of the Group's technology encompasses four unique
solutions:

 

 ·             The fully hosted accesso Passport(Ò) ticketing solution, VRTP is empowered to
               deliver an intuitive and streamlined eCommerce experience to its guests on any
               device. Onsite, the accesso Passport ticketing suite provides VRTP a
               simplified front gate point of sale - focused on driving improved sales
               results - as well as robust access control options.

 ·             accesso's patented LoQueue(Ò) suite of virtual queuing solutions allows VRTP
               to free its guests from physical queues, empowering them to explore all its
               attractions have to offer.

 ·             accesso's guest experience management platform serves to bridge the physical
               and digital aspects of a guest's journey, giving operators insight to every
               step of a guest's experience - pre-, during and post-visit. VRTP leverages the
               accesso guest experience management platform to power its all-in-one mobile
               app, which acts as a virtual assistant for guests and generates immersive,
               in-park experiences.

 ·             The accesso ticketing distribution platform provides operators like VRTP
               access to an expansive network of global ticket distribution channels,
               reaching more than 1 billion consumers worldwide. The solution allows ticket
               sales to be made in real time, eliminating the need for ticket allocations.

 

Bikash Randhawa, VRTP COO, commented:

 

"Since partnering with Accesso, we have worked closely with their team to
successfully implement their technology to our properties and enhance our
customer experience. We look forward to continuing working with them and
seeing what our teams will accomplish together over the years to come."

 

Steve Brown, CEO of accesso, commented:

 

"Through our long-standing partnership with Village Roadshow Theme Parks, our
integrated range of technology solutions works seamlessly together to improve
the guest experience while driving improved operational and financial results.
We are thrilled to have extended this partnership and look forward to working
hand-in-hand with Village Roadshow Theme Parks to continue meeting and
exceeding their guests' expectations for years to come."

About accesso Technology Group

 

At accesso, we believe technology has the power to redefine the guest
experience. Our patented and award-winning solutions drive increased revenue
for attraction operators while improving the guest experience. Currently
serving over 1,000 clients in more than 30 countries around the globe,
accesso's solutions help our clients streamline operations, generate increased
revenues, improve guest satisfaction and harness the power of data to educate
business and marketing decisions.

 

accesso stands as the leading technology provider of choice for tomorrow's
attractions, venues and institutions. We invest heavily in research and
development because our industries demand it, our clients benefit from it and
it makes a positive impact on the guest experience. Our innovative technology
solutions allow venues to increase the volume and range of on-site spending
and to drive increased transaction-based revenue through cutting edge
ticketing, point-of-sale, virtual queuing, distribution and experience
management software.

 

Furthermore, COVID-19 has highlighted the benefits our technology is able to
bring to venues from facilitating social distancing using our robust and
sophisticated virtual queuing solutions; reservation systems delivered through
our agile eCommerce platform to enable capacity management, taking queues away
from front gates; and attraction eateries utilising our contactless food and
beverage offerings.

 

Many of our team members come from backgrounds working within the attractions
and cultural industry. In this way, we are experienced operators who run a
technology company serving attractions operators, versus a technology company
that happens to serve the market. Our staff understand the day-to-day
operations of managing complex venues and the challenges this creates, and
together we strive to provide our clients and their guests with technology
that empowers them to do more and enjoy more. From our agile development team
to our dedicated client service specialists, every team member knows that
their passion, integrity, commitment, teamwork and innovation are what drive
our success.
