At this year's IAAPA Expo Europe (IEE), formerly the Euro Attractions Show, Gateway is offering its Galaxy product suite.
Galaxy extends well beyond a traditional ticketing solution, with its Galaxy Connect cloud-based platform connecting attractions to third-party distributors.
For more than 30 years, Gateway Ticketing Systems has provided attractions, tours, theme parks, waterparks, zoos, aquariums, museums and historic sites in Europe with ticketing and admission control solutions created to increase revenue, increase attendance, improve the guest experience and improve the bottom line.

This year’s show, set to be the largest in the event's history, will be held in Paris, at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles exhibition centre from 16 - 19 September.
It is expected to attract more than 15,000 professionals from across the leisure, tourism and entertainment industries in more than 100 countries, and will play host to the largest show floor in the event’s history, with more than 600 exhibitors in 17,500 sq m of exhibition space.
In addition the conference will offer 15 education sessions, covering a number of key topics, including: creating guest experiences, operations, communication and design. Adding to these, there will be nine in-depth learning experiences, including the IAAPA Institute for Attractions Managers at Disneyland Paris; a one-day waterpark forum; and a IAAPA Safety Institute session at Parc Astérix.
As always, networking will play a key part at the event. This year, there will be six key networking events, during which Expo attendees can mix with their peers in a more informal setting.

Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must

leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
