So when Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the award-winning creators of South Park and the The Book of Mormon, decided to parody Zipline Tours - I got pretty excited. I first heard about this South Park episode when I attended the 2017 International ACCT conference. This annual event brings together aerial park operators, high ropes facilities, and zip line tour companies from around the world. I lead a number of workshops and even a full day session on how to create great experiences for travellers. What I did not expect… was to find a South Park episode that perfectly captured almost everything that can go wrong on a group tour. We are talking common mistakes made on group tours, horrible customer experiences and basically highlighting what happens when group travel experiences go wrong. I’ve edited down the full episode to its most biting observations and if you have ever worked as a tour leader before - I guarantee you will crack a smile during this video. We then sat down and made a list of common mistakes made on group tours and, specifically, which one’s were called out by the South Park writers. If you want to check out our list, and see how it compares to what you took away from the episode, simply download it right here.
