ABSTRACT:
The illustrative embodiments described herein provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for directing a movement of visitors in an event venue. In one embodiment, the process generates a visitor profile for each visitor at an event venue. The visitor profile may include, without limitation, a unique identifier and location data. The location data is collected from a set of sensors distributed throughout the event venue. The process then monitors a capacity of visitors at each venue destination using the location data. In response to determining that the capacity of visitors at a first venue destination exceeds a threshold capacity for the first venue destination, the process selects a second venue destination for accommodating visitors of the first venue destination. The process selects the second venue destination based on selection criteria. The process then dispatches a venue employee to the first venue destination to direct one or more visitors at the first venue destination to the second venue destination.
