The new payment solutions form part of our wider strategy to improve loyalty, drive revenue and continue to deliver high guest satisfaction across our resorts”

The likes of wearable technology and tokenisation are the next step in customer experience and seamless payments and Merlin Entertainments is at the forefront of this deployment across hundreds of different locations” said Roelant Prins, CCO of Adyen.
