accesso expands relationship with Village Roadshow Theme Parks

- Village Roadshow's Gold Coast Properties to integrate accesso's ticketing, queuing and guest experience solutions -

- Operator will use accesso technology to engage with guests across the entire digital guest journey -

accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider to leisure, entertainment, cultural and hospitality markets, today announces a strategic partnership with Village Roadshow Theme Parks ("Village Roadshow"). This expansion with the largest Australian theme park operator marks the first holistic integration of accesso's queuing, ticketing, and guest experience management solutions tailored to the attractions industry.

Village Roadshow, which already has accesso Passport installed at a number of its venues, will combine accesso Passport(R) with accesso LoQueue(SM) , The Experience Engine(TM) (TE2), and accesso ShoWare(SM) primarily across its Gold Coast properties - Warner Bros. Movie World, Wet'n'Wild Gold Coast and Sea World (Australia). These technologies will help it to engage with guests at every possible touchpoint along the digital guest journey: before, during and after a visit. Crucially, the integration will enable Village Roadshow to gather and leverage individual preference data to improve guest experiences, creating an integrated technology offering that adds value beyond the sum of its individual parts.

This partnership is the latest example of ongoing demand for accesso's product suite in the Group's traditional markets. This agreement with Village Roadshow also reflects the Group's ongoing geographic diversification, growing its foothold in Australia.

Paul Noland, CEO of accesso, commented:

"We are incredibly proud to expand our relationship with Village Roadshow Theme Parks and showcase the capabilities of our award-winning products. In today's technology-driven landscape, a new bar has been set for the guest experience and, through this integration, we are re-envisioning how operators can make lasting connections with guests."

Bikash Randhawa, COO for Village Roadshow Theme Parks, commented:

"As Australia's leading theme park operator, we are committed to seeking out new and innovative ways to drive revenue while delivering unforgettable experiences for our guests. We are thrilled to expand even further on our partnership with Accesso and look forward to benefiting from the implementation of its powerful, comprehensive range of solutions."

Many of our team members come from backgrounds working within the attractions and cultural industry.

Our staff understands the day-to-day operations of managing complex venues and the challenges this creates, and together we strive to provide our clients and their guests with technology that empowers them to do more and enjoy more. From our agile development team to our dedicated client service specialists, every team member knows that their passion, integrity, commitment, teamwork and innovation are what drive our success.
