With the craze surrounding the mobile game Pokemon GO, aside from areas where gameplay is prohibited—which visitors should be particularly aware of—many businesses, attractions, and hotels have taken the opportunity to offer Pokemon-related promotions. These attract crowds and increase consumer activity by encouraging players to visit and catch Pokémon on-site.
Pokemon GO boosts tourism business as businesses and attraction operators roll out promotions to draw in crowds.
