Earlier this month, members of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) came to visit Germany’s largest theme park.
Managers and executives from theme parks all over Europe and Dubai met at Europa-Park to exchange ideas about current issues in the leisure industry – and safety was at the top of the agenda.
The economic effects that theme parks have on their regions were also highlighted during the IAAPA meeting. Europa-Park, for example, created 100 new jobs in the last season alone.
Further investment in the theme park such as this year’s construction of the new Irish-themed area – a major attraction for the coming season – and the development of a waterpark will, in turn, create hundreds of additional jobs.
