There is such a thing as "market makers", you know. No need to pretend that large orders only fill against large orders and small orders only fill against small orders.

Good to see Prudential increasing their stake in ACSO to above 5% with 1.47m shares:

Since today's announcement hasn't flagged up on my ADVFN Monitor/portfolio, here it is in case anyone missed it.

I deduce the reason for its announcement as an RNSNON is in the type of contract win rather than monetary - it's an example of ACSO breaking into overall solutions encompassing ticketing, membership, access, ecommerce, i.e the entire "digital journey":



"accesso SiriuswareSM contract win

zoOceanarium Group and Lodging Hospitality Management to utilise accesso Siriusware solution

Solution to be implemented in St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station, St Louis, Missouri

accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider to leisure, entertainment and cultural markets, is partnering with zoOceanarium Group, a recognised international zoo and aquarium developer and operator, and Lodging Hospitality Management (LHM), a proven leader in the hospitality industry, to implement accesso Siriusware at its St. Louis Aquarium and entertainment complex at Union Station in St Louis, Missouri opening later this year.

The accesso Siriusware solution will be used to power the destination's behind-the-scenes tours and animal encounters, in addition to general admission at the two-story, 120,000-square-foot aquarium opening in winter 2019. The aquarium will be a central element of LHM's new entertainment complex at the station, which will also include a 200-foot observation wheel, a ropes course, an 18-hole mini golf course and more.

This new partnership reflects the ongoing momentum within accesso Siriusware which continues to prove its worth in a range of adjacent markets. Our customers continue to seek streamlined and customizable solutions that bring together front-gate, point-of-sale, membership passes, access control and eCommerce capability to bring the digital guest journey to life. This enables them to dramatically improve the experience they can offer during visits to their attractions, and drive revenue from higher-quality and more personalised interactions with their customers.

Six Flags' Q1'19 results beat expectations for revenues and earnings:



The quarterly conference call was upbeat, but had this to say in particular about the development of new in-park apps and technology which it notes as enabling the upselling of Flash Pass:



"And so what we're doing overall, is making sure that from a technology perspective, we've got a lot going on to the new app will allow multiple things, including mobile food ordering. We're also deploying point of sale in various parts of the park and allowing access that way so that we can get directly to not just members, but all guests. And then we've got new mobile front gate systems to ensure that we reduce wait time and we've dedicated some parts at the front gate just for members, so that they can get in even faster. And we've also worked on a new website that is optimized for phones first in ADA and other areas. The app itself, to your question, Mark, it's redesigned really to make it even easier to use and it has improved home screen messaging we've updated interactive park map technology, which allows for quick map update and styling changes. As I said, we've got the mobile food orderings the people can conveniently order ahead. We can upsell directly. We reduced the wait time for food, as a result of that, we've also built in -- and this was a question that came earlier the ability to purchase memberships and season passes on the app. And we're the only company I think that has this membership loyalty program and so that loyalty program is directly on the app and allows you to easily track point balances, check information, ride shows et cetera. It also gives ride wait time accurate, very accurate ride wait times. So overall it's very positive both from a user perspective as guests enjoy using something that is easier for them. But it also allows us to target upsell opportunities both in terms of our passes, but also dining and FLASH Pass. So there's a lot different in the app and really targeted one, to please the guests, but two, to ensure we can sell them more while they're in the park and even outside of the park."

Great interview with Carnival's tech guy about how they're using Ocean Medallion and about its roll-out:



"How Carnival is using technology to innovate its brands

At SeaTrade Cruise Global 2019, TechRepublic Senior Editor Teena Maddox spoke with John Padgett, chief experience and innovation officer at Carnival Corporation, about how Carnival is using tech such as the Ocean Medallion to create new guest experiences. The following is an edited transcript of the interview.

Teena Maddox: What are some of the innovations that Carnival is doing among its brands?

ohn Padgett: Well, Carnival Corporation is the world's largest leisure travel company, with over 100 ships and nine individual cruise brands. So innovation is core throughout all of those brands, but our premiere innovation is what we call the Ocean Medallion. I'm wearing it here on my chest. The Ocean Medallion is all about connecting the guest to the overall ship in a way that we can increase the personalization, eliminate the friction, make everything simple, and give great guest service to every single guest on a cruise ship at scale.

Teena Maddox: How many ships have the OceanMedallion, and how many more will be getting it this year?

John Padgett: Within a week we'll actually have three full MedallionClass ships, which will be the Caribbean Princess, the Regal Princess, and the Royal Princess. We'll be adding it to the Crown Princess this summer, and the Sky Princess coming out in October will be a premiere MedallionClass ship, the first one that has come out of the shipyard new as an Ocean Class ship.

Teena Maddox: What are some of the ways that Carnival Corporation is using machine learning and AI to enhance the guest experience?

John Padgett: Well, we're super excited about machine learning and AI in the sense that we think we're doing something special and different that really is focused on the guest. In most worlds that you have big data and you talk about AI, machine learning that is all done by data scientists that then ultimately impact an operation. Well, with the MedallionClass experience, the connected guest intelligence, all created in real time, is piled back into meeting the needs, wants, and desires of all guests at that very same second, because all of our crew are connected to the same ecosystem that the guests are connected to.

Teena Maddox: What's most exciting about the innovations that are taking place?

John Padgett: The most exciting thing for us is the guest adoption of the MedallionClass innovation. Basically, 99.9% of our guests have adopted the Ocean Medallion to engage in their overall vacation experience. Of course, it's complimentary to all guests, but it's optional. So we couldn't be more pleased with how much our guests are loving participating in our experience."

Absence of other strategy? They still have the strategies of getting operators to expand the use of their products to more locations within their own chains, cross-selling products between the customers of each division, and flogging the current products to more geographies and leisure segments.

In English:

We are increasing our cost base substantially in the hope of growing revenues.

Why we didn't do this before we cannot explain.

In the absence of any other strategy this seems like a good idea. What else can we do anyway we get paid mega bucks whatever the outcome.

Princess Cruises have ordered two new 4,300 passenger ships to be built - both of which are to incorporate Ocean Medallion technology.

More proof of its success and soon to come roll-out:



“Even more exciting is that these two ships are being designed to include our MedallionClass platform, powered by Ocean Medallion, the most advanced wearable device available within the global hospitality industry.”
