Visitor Experience

Since 2016, visitor satisfaction has been actively and continuously measured with the AlphaRainbow online survey tool. A short, targeted and, above all, user-friendly survey ensures a high response. The results are stored real time in the online tool. We share the results with all employees at quarterly meetings, and more frequently with the management team. In the Zoo many things have been adjusted that we knew from a gut feeling, but where the results from the visitor satisfaction survey just gave the final push towards the actual implementation.

“I think we are one of AlphaRainbow’s first Customer Satisfaction Tracking customers. Their personal approach, professional attitude and nice team ensure a pleasant cooperation”

To measure satisfaction, the NPS method is used in combination with open questions and additional statements that deal with the value aspects of Burgers’ Zoo. Think of statements such as: the friendliness of the staff, the quality of the restaurants and the visibility of the animals. The results are processed monthly and shared in the form of a One Pager: a summary of the results on one page. On this One Pager you can directly compare the results with previous months. In addition, Burgers’ Zoo annually receives a report with the results of the past year in which, by means of an analysis, it is determined which statements have the most impact on visitor satisfaction and are therefore the most important for improvement activities. Concrete recommendations are made on basis of these analysis, via this way Burgers’ Zoo knows which points to focus on.

Tim Lammers

Marketing Manager Burgers’ Zoo

“Standing still is going backwards, so we are always looking on how we can further enrich the experience. The visitor satisfaction survey provides us with a useful tool to determine whether we are on the right track. In addition, it offers clear insights and we can therefore measure the effect of the adjustments in the park.”

Within Burgers’ Zoo both the satisfaction of the park visitors and the satisfaction of the business market visitors are measured. By using a tablet, visitors on location can quickly and easily give their opinion. The covid crisis called for a new approach in which it was decided to measure visitor satisfaction using QR-codes; just as easy, but now visitors can complete the questionnaire from their own mobile phone.
