During peak season, this 120-pitch campsite was receiving an average of 40 guest messages per day.

Most of them were repetitive:

  • “What’s the Wi-Fi password?”
  • “What time does the pool close?”
  • “Can we check in early?”
  • “Where can we rent bikes?”

The team wasn’t overwhelmed because of the number of guests.
They were overwhelmed because communication was fragmented and manual.

Three months later, the numbers told a different story:

  • -61% guest inquiries
  • +33% additional service revenue
  • +37% 5-star reviews

The Initial Challenge: Manual and Repetitive Guest Communication

Before implementing a digital welcome guide, the campsite faced:

  • Scattered communication across emails, calls, and SMS
  • No centralized guest information hub
  • Limited visibility for additional services
  • No structured upsell process
  • Front desk staff overwhelmed with repetitive questions

Over 80% of guest inquiries were identical.

The issue wasn’t service quality.
It was operational friction.

The Solution: A Centralized Digital Welcome Guide

The campsite implemented a digital welcome guide.

The objective was simple: Create one single, mobile-friendly information hub accessible via QR code or direct link, no app download required.

In an hour, they centralized:

  • Check-in & check-out details
  • Wi-Fi access
  • Campsite map
  • Facilities & equipment information
  • Activity schedules
  • Local recommendations
  • Additional services with integrated payment

The guide was fully branded and customized to match the campsite’s identity.

KPI #1: -61% Guest Inquiries

Thanks to:

  • Instant access to information
  • 24/7 AI-powered guest assistant
  • Clear and structured navigation
  • Multi-language availability

Repetitive inquiries dropped dramatically.

Front desk staff regained valuable time to focus on:

  • Guest relationships
  • On-site experience
  • Operational management

Instead of answering the same questions 40 times a day, they could concentrate on delivering hospitality.

KPI #2: +33% Additional Revenue

Before digitalization, upsells were offered verbally and inconsistently.

After implementing the digital guide:

  • Early check-in became bookable in one click
  • Bike rentals were visible before arrival
  • Cleaning services were easy to add
  • Payments were completed directly online

Guests could purchase services whenever they wanted, without pressure.

The result? +33% additional revenue during the season, without hiring additional staff.

KPI #3: +37% 5-Star Reviews

Why did reviews improve?

Because the guest experience became:

  • Frictionless
  • Modern
  • Instant
  • Accessible in multiple languages
  • Available 24/7

Many reviews specifically mentioned:

  • “Everything was easy to find”
  • “Very practical digital guide”
  • “Great organization”

Digital clarity directly improved perceived professionalism.

Why Digital Guest Communication Works

In hospitality, most guest questions are predictable.

When information is:

  • Centralized
  • Mobile-first
  • Available 24/7
  • AI-supported
  • Easy to navigate

Stress decreases for both guests and staff.

A digital welcome guide does not replace human hospitality.
It enhances it by removing operational friction.

Conclusion

Property Management Systems (PMS) handle bookings.
But guest experience tools manage communication, satisfaction, and upsells.

In one season, this campsite moved from:

40 daily messages
to measurable operational efficiency and revenue growth.

-61% inquiries
+33% additional revenue
+37% 5-star reviews

Digital guest communication is no longer optional.
It is a strategic advantage.
