guest experience
How visitors feel
Guest experience is the cumulative impression a visitor forms during their interaction with a business, venue, or service—encompassing everything from arrival to departure.
Hotels, restaurants, theme parks, and event spaces invest heavily in guest experience, attending to ambiance, service quality, and small touches: The resort redesigned its lobby to improve the guest experience.
