Asian Attractions Expo heads for Singapore

LEADERS from the global theme park and attractions industry will travel to Marina Bay Sands’ Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore for Asian Attractions Expo 2013, which will be held from June 4-7.

Opened only to attractions industry professionals and the media, Asian Attractions Expo 2013 will showcase new ride concepts and innovative new products, and invite delegates to learn about industry trends, discuss hot topics and share best practices with industry peers.

Some 250 companies that deal in related products and services, including theme park rides, motion and virtual-reality simulators, theatrical production services and F&B innovations, are expected to exhibit at the show and engage with more than 3,000 owners and managers from theme parks, water parks, zoos, aquariums, museums, family entertainment centers, casinos and resorts in 60 countries.

Asian Attractions Expo 2013 will feature a Leadership Breakfast on June 6, with Ocean Park Hong Kong CEO, Tom Mehrmann, presenting a keynote address, as well as a conference programme, education sessions and networking functions.

Paul Noland, president and CEO of Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, the organisation that owns and produces the annual expo, said: “The trade show floor at Asian Attractions Expo is the perfect place to connect buyers and sellers from around the world. (It) is packed with business-building products, services and new ideas.”

The event was held in Hong Kong last year.
