The Online Booking Experience: What Drives Visitors to Click “Book Now”

Andy Povey |

Weather isn’t just a variable, it’s now one of the strongest demand signals you can’t afford to ignore.

Understand What Shapes the Digital Journey for UK Attractions

The way visitors plan, book, and connect with attractions online is evolving faster than ever. For many, the digital experience now defines the entire visitor journey,  shaping perceptions, influencing decisions, and building long-term loyalty.

To better understand this journey, we worked with Decision House to survey a representative sample of 1,011 people across the UK to uncover what makes (and breaks) a great online booking experience. From website usability and pricing transparency to family-friendly tools and membership renewals, the research reveals what really matters to today’s visitors.

Weather Apps: A Key Factor in Visitor Planning

Our research found that over 70% of respondents regularly consult weather apps when deciding whether, and when, to visit an attraction. That makes forecast expectations nearly as important as timing, price or content in driving bookings.
