ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/
-- accesso Technology Group plc (AIM:
ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider for attractions
and venues worldwide, has signed a three-year agreement with Parks!
America Inc. (OTC PINK: PRKA) to implement its award-winning
accesso Passport ticketing solution across the
organization's portfolio of Drive-Thru and Walkabout Adventure Zoo
Animal Safari parks, supporting both online sales and on-site
operations. Implementation is set to begin in February 2022 at Parks! America Inc.'s locations

Using the accesso Passport eCommerce ticketing suite,
guests to each Wild Animal Safari location will be able to select

reservation options with ease, and enjoy an easy-to-navigate
shopping experience on any device. The accesso Passport
eCommerce suite is fully hosted, with secure payment processing
available through CyberSource integration, reducing operational
burdens while allowing for seamless delivery of intuitive up-sell
and cross-sell opportunities to park guests.
Onsite, the accesso Passport ticketing suite provides a
streamlined front gate point of sale, focused on driving improved
sales results. Training is quick and easy, and the interface helps
to reinforce sales training through automated prompts to encourage
up-selling – all while enabling quick and simple transactions to
keep lines moving quickly. In addition, the solution provides
robust group sales features, season pass processing and access
control options, as well as the ability to launch self-service
kiosks or mobile points of sale.
"With Accesso's ticketing system in place, we know that our
guests will enjoy a top-quality online experience, no matter how or
where they make their digital purchase," remarked Parks! America
Inc. Executive Vice President Mark
Whitfield. "By partnering with Accesso, our team can place
even more focus on what we do best – providing exceptional animal
safari experiences to our guests during a time of growth for our
company."
Parks! America Inc. is the parent company of Wild Animal Safari,
one of the fastest-growing animal park brands in the U.S., with
Aggieland Safari – the operator's newest Wild Animal Safari Park
& Walkabout Adventure Zoo – recently acquired in 2020. Its
parks offer family-friendly adventures into the wild, where guests
can see animals up close and experience the thrill of safari.
Located in three states across North
America, Wild Animal Safari's parks offer a mix of
individual vehicle drive-thru, tour bus, van rental and walkabout
experiences, as well as educational, private encounters with the
parks' most popular animals. Since opening its first location in
2005, Parks! America Inc. has grown to become a beloved family
destination and is recognized as the nation's best Drive-Thru Wild
Animal Safari parks. Parks! America boasts decades of successful
operations, with its venues in Pine
Mountain, Georgia, and Strafford,
Missouri, having celebrated 30th and
50th anniversaries in 2021, respectively.
"Our ticketing technology is uniquely suited for multi-site
venues, such as Parks! America, delivering the scalable support
operators need while maintaining the great, personalized experience
guests crave," said Steve Brown,
accesso CEO. "We are pleased to partner with Parks! America
Inc., known for its outstanding wild animal safari experiences, and
look forward to helping their guests book and enjoy unforgettable
adventures."
