A refresher: What Is CRO, again?
CRO is the systematic process of increasing the percentage of website visitors who take a desired action through real-time testing, experimentation, and organization. It’s helpful for website visitors and the local community, too; travel and tourism is an economic engine that helps enhance the quality of life for local communities. It helps create jobs, provides funding for infrastructure, and promotes business growth. When CRO shines, so does your destination.
