Asian Attractions Expo 2016 to take place in Shanghai
POSTED 19 Jun 2015 . BY Tom Anstey
The event will be hosted at Shanghai New International Expo Centre
Following a successful 2015 edition in Hong Kong, IAAPA has announced that the 2016 Asian Attractions Expo (AAE) will be hosted at Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), marking the event’s return to mainland China after the 2014 event was held in Beijing.

An estimated 7,000 industry professionals from 65 countries are expected to take part in the event, with a trade show floor showcasing products and services from more than 300 companies across all sectors in the attractions realm.

Aside from the trade floor, regular sessions will be taking place on industry trends and best practice, with education sessions also taking place related to safety, operations, marketing, human resources, and management presented by worldwide industry leaders in each discipline.

"We are thrilled to take AAE back to China," said IAAPA president and CEO Paul Noland. "We selected Shanghai, one of the most established business centres in China, as it is reflective of the tremendous international appeal of our industry to the Asia-Pacific region and the industry's dynamic growth."

AAE 2016 takes place between 13-16 June 2016. For more information, click here.
