ChatGPT, AI, and chatbots are buzzwords these days. But what do they mean for tour and attraction businesses? Well, if you’ve been finding it hard to stay updated with the almost-daily developments in AI, we’re here to help you understand and utilize this technology.
In this article, we'll explore:
What ChatGPT is and how it works
What benefits you can get from using it in your tour and attraction business
How you can supercharge your tour and attraction business with ChatGPT
So, let's dive in and get ready to improve customer engagement, and streamline your operations like never before!
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an AI-powered chatbot from OpenAI (an artificial intelligence research lab) that can communicate with users in a natural language format. GPT is short for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer”, and it’s what’s powering the ChatGPT interface.
This machine learning algorithm is how ChatGPT can understand and respond to chat queries, just like a human would. Although it’s still in the research phase, the technology behind it is constantly evolving, which means it's getting smarter and more efficient every day.
Now that we have a brief understanding of what ChatGPT is, let's explore how it can benefit you, whether you operate a boat tour, wildlife park, museum, waterpark or any other type of attraction.
Benefits of using ChatGPT and AI in your Tour or Attraction Business
Using ChatGPT and AI in your guest experience business can be a game-changer. Imagine having a personal assistant who never sleeps, never gets tired, and is always ready to help whenever you have a question.
With ChatGPT, you can 10x your marketing materials, answer frequently asked questions, and even use it to help you create Excel formulas to analyze your customer data.
Now let’s take a look at some of the benefits ChatGPT can bring to your guest experience business.
Increase customer satisfaction with automated responses
If you’re not already using an automated chatbot like TourOpp GO! (wink wink), you’re missing out on the opportunity to deliver timely, personalized, and on-brand responses to your customers.
With an automated chatbot, you can answer common questions like “What time does your tour start?” or “Do you accept credit cards?” 24/7. That means no customer has to wait for an answer, and your agents can focus on more complex questions.
These automated responses can be easily and quickly generated with ChatGPT, which then translates to saving time and costs as you’ve already pre-figured these questions.
Increase bookings and revenue from optimized tour or product descriptions
While AI is changing the way consumers search for content online, these AI-returned results are still primarily powered by content on the web (for now, at least).
Optimizing your tour descriptions and website content for search engines (SEO) is even more crucial to help drive more traffic to your website, with the ultimate goal of increasing your bookings.
ChatGPT (and other AI writing tools) can help you to write great content that ranks on search engines, which can then translate to more website visitors, more bookings, and more revenue for your tour and attraction business.
Increase your marketing output by 10x
Another way to supercharge your tour and attraction business with ChatGPT is by increasing your marketing output.
With the help of AI, you can create personalized marketing campaigns that target specific customer segments. This means you can tailor your messaging to different groups of people based on their interests, location, or behavior.
ChatGPT can also help you generate new ideas for content creation, such as blog posts, social media updates, and email newsletters. By using AI to analyze customer data and trends, you can stay ahead of the curve and create content that resonates with your audience.
We’ll delve deeper into workflows and prompts that you can use to help you create these different types of content.
Save costs on staffing
Let's face it, staffing costs can be a huge burden on any business. But with the help of ChatGPT, you can save on these costs and still provide excellent customer service. Think of it as having a virtual assistant who can handle all the mundane tasks that your staff would normally do.
If you’ve set up an automated chatbot with AI-generated responses, you can reduce the number of staff members needed to handle these tasks, which translates to significant cost savings for your business.
This frees up your staff members to focus on more complex issues that require human intervention, not only saving you money but also ensuring that your customers are getting the best possible service.
Furthermore, ChatGPT can help you streamline your operations by helping you to automate repetitive tasks such as data entry and report generation. This means that you can spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on growing your business.
Now that you know how ChatGPT can help your business, let’s dive into how you can use it to supercharge your tour & attraction business!
How to use ChatGPT in your attraction business
Before you can get started, you should first create an account with OpenAI if you haven’t. It’s as simple as going here and creating an account.
Once you’ve got your account set up, you’ll be able to start generating content with ChatGPT. We’ll go through an example in the first way, and then give you prompts for the rest to try them out yourself.
When it comes to using ChatGPT or any AI writer effectively, it’s important to make sure you give it a role so that it can craft content that fits what you’re looking for.
For example, if you want it to write social media posts, then make sure you give it a role and then use the prompt that's relevant to social media posts. Examples:
Imagine you’re an experienced travel guide who’s savvy in social media. I want you to create content on [topic].
I want you to act as a social media influencer. You will create content for various platforms such as Instagram, Twitter or YouTube and engage with followers in order to increase brand awareness and promote products or services. My first suggestion request is [topic].
Depending on the type of output you’re trying to get, you might want to try out different roles such as asking ChatGPT to be an SEO specialist, advertiser, copywriter, data analyst or proofreader.
The sky’s the limit with AI, and it all depends on your imagination! Now let’s explore some prompts you can start using for your tour or attraction with ChatGPT.
