cast at Disney to create surprises and magical moments. His powerful message focused on leadership, through attitude, belief, focus and perseverance. After learning that Holland had welcomed over 85 million visitors to Disney, it was refreshing to hear from him that “We are all responsible for what we do and it’s the extra one per cent that makes all the difference. An extra one per cent can take you from good to great.” In true Vision XS style, Tony Sefton provided some quirky


and lively antics for the “visitor experience obsessives.” After having reviewed the visitor experience at over 120 attractions worldwide, Sefton showed delegates how to plot the ups and downs, points of staff interaction and the “sugar buzzes” in the visitor experience. After much hilarity he summed up with these wise words: “You need to know what your visitors expect before they arrive, manage their expectations and ensure you can deliver. Create a visitor experience charter and make sure it’s shared and owned by marketing and operations alike.” The day also featured delegates taking an active part


in a variety of workshops and a visitor journey analysis exercise at a nearby museum and another successful day was rounded off with plenty of networking time, a traditional College Feast in the college’s Great Hall and evening entertainment.
