Adding “Things To Do” To Your “Places”
💡 Every “Thing To Do” requires a “Place” where you can do that thing. Click HERE to learn about creating “Places” in your network.
Building a diverse library of “Things To Do” enriches the mobile experience by providing a wide range of options for visitors to explore within each destination. With a robust inventory, users can discover local attractions, activities, and hidden gems, ensuring there's something for everyone. Additionally, having a catalog of inventory strengthens your partnerships with local businesses, encourages repeat visits, and promotes economic growth within the community.
Getting passholders out and about to your community is Bandwango's number one priority. That's why selecting the activities and offerings you'd like passholders to experience is a crucial initial step in pass creation. Each pass type comes with predefined “Things” that participating “Places” will provide in order to join the program.
