Loyalty is important for reasons beyond the obvious. According to a previous PGAV survey, consumers are 42% more likely to use the products and services promoted within a brand destination after visiting it. (Destinology - Brand Destinations: Te Power of Place, August 2015)

Intent to return in 2016 is uniformly high across the board; except with Matures, who seem to have gotten their fill of Museums and Zoos in 2015.
