Earlier this week, officials from the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA), Visit Orlando, and the Orange County Convention Centre (OCCC) announced a six-year extension of their agreement to host IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando through 2025.

The new contract represents an extension of IAAPA's previous agreement to host the expo in Orlando from 2010 through 2019.

Approximately 28,800 people from more than 100 nations participated in IAAPA Attractions Expo 2013.

The week-long event is the largest conference and trade show for the worldwide attractions industry, generating approximately $51m for the Orlando-area economy each year.

IAAPA officials also announced that registration for IAAPA Attractions Expo 2014, which takes place in the Orange County Convention Centre on November 17-21, is now open.

"IAAPA Attractions Expo continues to grow year after year, and that's a testament to the power of Orlando as the ideal location for our global conference and trade show," said IAAPA president and CEO, Paul Noland.

"The Orange County Convention Centre is a best-in-class venue that's well-suited for our event and our members love coming to Orlando to see what's new in the industry and in the area's world-renowned attractions."

The terms of the agreements between IAAPA and Orlando were not disclosed.
