In comparison to many other industries, this rate is higher. Museums contribute to the country's economy and create jobs for millions of people, driving market growth.

Adoption of Technological Advancements By Zoos

Even for zoos, the adoption of digitalization offers a solution. By having an internet presence, zoos may reach a far larger potential audience. A zoo's internet presence is better positioned as the "rest of a lifetime chance" rather than intended to replace the once-in-a-lifetime experience. The benefit of digitalization in this approach is that if a consumer has already visited a zoo, the online presence can build on their experience; however, if a consumer has not yet visited a zoo, the online presence will encourage them to visit for the once-in-a-lifetime experience. The most popular methods zoos utilize to digitally reach visitors, in order of popularity, are websites, social media, on-demand virtual experiences, and live-streaming cameras. Almost 100% of zoos worldwide have websites and social media. Animal-related content has been one of the most popular choices of the global community since the dawn of the digital age.

The Smithsonian's National Zoo, commonly referred to as the National Zoo, is one of the oldest zoos in the United States and is part of the Smithsonian Institution. Through the Smithsonian National Zoo's giant panda cam, consumers can watch giant pandas Tian Tian and Mei Xiang chomp on bamboo and tumble in the grass.

The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden rolled out an innovative "Home Safari Resources" series for customers' enjoyment. Now that the zoo has reopened to the public, consumers can still find the home safari archive on their website. This collection of videos shows a wide variety of species and is curated by zoo staff.

The San Diego Zoo is widely recognized as a leader among conservation organizations and pioneered the development of more humane, cage-free enclosures. It remains the most visited zoo in the United States. The zoo has several fun animal cams with live video feeds and a large archive of recordings from their previous giant panda residents, Bai Yun and Xiao Liwu. This zoo has several live cams monitoring their furry and feathered friends, including penguins, koalas, and elephants. Houston Zoo has webcams focused on gorillas, giraffes, rhinos, elephants, leafcutter ants, and more for consumers viewing pleasure.
