Wyoming KOA Becomes the First to Embrace AI Chatbot for Campers

Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA Journey Adds KOA Concierge to Website

SHERIDAN, WYOMING, UNITED STATES, September 29, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA Journey becomes the first Kampgrounds of America Inc. (KOA) franchisee to adopt AI chatbot technology with the release of KOA Concierge. Created by Insider Perks, a leading provider of marketing solutions tailored to the outdoor hospitality industry, the KOA Concierge is designed to provide 24/7 customer service.

The chatbot responds to various camper questions, including those about the campground’s various accommodation types, local outdoor and in-town activities and amenities, and the KOA Rewards loyalty program. This state-of-the-art technology ensures that guests receive instant, accurate information, enhancing their camping experience and streamlining operations for the campground.

"We are incredibly excited to be the first KOA to adopt this innovative technology,” says Nate Thompson, owner of the Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA Journey. “KOA Concierge elevates the guest experience and signifies our commitment to introducing technology that advances the outdoor hospitality industry."

Campers are embracing artificial intelligence for trip planning more quickly than other leisure travelers, according to recent research by Kampgrounds of America, Inc. These AI-inclined campers are most likely to use the technology for trip research (53%), itinerary building (48%), and compiling resources about a specific destination (32%).

"Working with forward-thinking partners like KOA allows us to drive innovation in the outdoor hospitality sector,” says Brian Searl, founder and CEO of Insider Perks. “Implementing the KOA Concierge at Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA Journey is a testament to our shared vision of providing unparalleled service to campers while setting new industry standards."

KOA Concierge is a significant step towards digital transformation in outdoor hospitality, ensuring guests can access important information and services at their fingertips. The introduction of the technology underscores the commitment of KOA and Insider Perks to improve the industry through innovative solutions that benefit campers and campground owners.

The Sheridan/Big Horn Mountains KOA Journey is located at 63 Decker Road in Sheridan. To learn more about the accommodations and amenities, to book your stay, or try out the KOA Concierge, please visit their website or call 307-674-8766.
