1. Knowledge of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and V&A: “What do you expect to see?”
2. Reactions after browsing both full and mobile optimised sites?
3. How do both mobile and full websites impact the visitor perception of the attraction or place?
Perceptions. Reactions.

How a Posi,ve Mobile User Experience Changes Everything

Websites have an impact on the perception of what they promote
Design Impacts Reputation
Non-optimised sites resulted in a loss of interest
Optimised sites actually increased interest in a place
Choice of photos and layouts have an instant impact
Visual content leads natives to immediate assumptions
![Page 30: Talking Digital Natives, Product & Mobile](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5fa541a28ab66588b45db/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Too much text hinders curiosity
Content influences the motivation to visit
Participants complained about the prominence of text
Lots of text = Abandonment
Natives find a site disappointing when it lacks strong visual content
Visual content increases motivation to visit
Poor consistency fails to support visitors needs

What To Consider when Engaging Digital Na,ves in Travel
KEY TAKEAWAYS

What have they taught us?
Speak “experience” in your digital rhetoric
It must be immediately clear for tourists what they can do and experience
An authentic image can communicate the actual experience
![Page 39: Talking Digital Natives, Product & Mobile](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5fa541a28ab66588b45db/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What have they taught us?
Get your visual content spot on
Visual content should shape and enhance your brand image.
Consider fonts, images and colours carefully
![Page 40: Talking Digital Natives, Product & Mobile](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5fa541a28ab66588b45db/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
What have they taught us?
Don’t forget location, location, locationLocation and directions should be easy to find on the website.
Location plays a key role in shaping spontaneous decisions
![Page 41: Talking Digital Natives, Product & Mobile](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a5fa541a28ab66588b45db/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
What have they taught us?
Always exceed expectations
A brand has a limited amount of time to match tourists expectations or change them for the better
Visitor perceptions are based on complex environmental factors. You have an opportunity to shape these.
