Bob Rogers, the founder of BRC Imagination Arts, has predicted that the visitor attraction industry
will see a "surge in interest" during 2021, as the global tourism industry begins its slow journey to
recovery.
The UK's major visitor attractions recorded just 45.4 million visits during 2020 – a 70 per cent fall
from the 151.3 million visits they received in 2019.
In August 2020, Warner Bros announced plans to open a Harry Potter Studio Tour in Japan – the
second such attraction following the hugely popular studio experience in London, UK.
Global design and production agency BRC Imagination Arts has appointed Christian Lachel
as chief creative officer, taking over the role from BRC founder Bob Rogers.
A new international design challenge has been launched this month, inviting
freelance designers in
the themed entertainment to pitch their concepts for the next immersive,
story-based experience.
Triotech has announced a breakthrough alliance with Benoit Cornet and Bold Move to
