## Recap

Well done! With the **Experience** section you have explored how Adobe Journey Optimizer triggers contextual experiences based on real-world signals:

1. **Points of Interest** to map physical locations and detect when customers are nearby.
2. **Location-based journeys** triggered by geofence exit events.
3. **Custom actions and data source conditions** to enrich the journey with real-time information, like store opening hours.

In this section, after arriving at the destination airport, the traveler receives a personalized message highlighting activities available nearby — turning a simple arrival into a seamless and experience-driven moment. Thanks to a custom action, only relevant and available activities are proposed, ensuring the message is both timely and actionable. The traveler is now ready to explore, but the journey is only just beginning: the next section, Grow, focuses on turning one-time travelers into loyal, long-term customers.
