ccording to AECOM, major theme parks operators around the world posted a combined attendance increase of 5.4% in 2013, with the Americas region showing a 3-4% rise. As the soccer World Cup comes to a close in Brazil, it is satisfying to report the exceptional results from both Thermas Dos Laranjais in Olimpia, some 300km northeast of Sao Paolo and 500 from Rio, and Beach Park in Aquiraz, Fortaleza. The two waterparks ranked 5th and 18th worldwide, up by 26.9% and 14.4% respectively, to 1.65 million and 964.000 guests. Piscilago in Bogota, Colombia, with a mere 0.2% increase to 1.04 million, was the only other Latin American waterpark that made the worldwide top 20, ranking 14th. Owned by the supermarket chain Colsubsidios, Piscilago is for the most visited by their own personnel, and as the property also has rooms available is not perhaps a typical waterpark. Commenting on the success of Beach Park, Thermas Dos Laranjais and Piscilago, Brian Sands,

Porqué hay aún mucho espacio para el crecimiento


Tras la publicación del Índice TEA/AECOM de Parques Temáticos 2013 (véase bit.ly/1liOW8i), Park World hace un análisis sobre los resultados de los parques de Latinoamérica, donde Ricki Chávez- Muñoz, encuentra algunas relucientes gemas entre los parques acuáticos – con tres instalaciones que entran al Top 20 mundial.


Según AECOM, los operadores de los parques temáticos principales en el mundo registraron un aumento del 5,4% en la concurrencia combinada en 2013, con la región del continente de América mostrando un aumento de entre 3 y 4%. Con el Mundial de Brasil entrando a su fase final, es satisfactorio ver resultados excepcionales de dos parques acuáticos en este país, con Thermas Dos Laranjais, en Olimpia, unos 300km al noreste de Sao Paolo y 500km de Rio, y Beach Park, en Aquiraz, Fortaleza, ambos clasificados en los puestos 5 y 18 en el ranking mundial y con crecimiento del 26,9% y 14,4%, llegando a 1,65 millones y 964.000 huéspedes, respectivamente.
