While the pandemic continues to have a seismic impact on every aspect of our daily lives, it’s great to see the industry pulling together and finding new ways of operating. While the cancellation of the global IAPPA Expo in Orlando is disappointing,
the
Association is coming up with new and innovative ways to keep us connected - find out how on page 6. As Park World went to Press, the World Waterpark Association was gearing up for Show, which as a result of
its 40th Anniversary the pandemic will also
take place on a virtual platform. Despite the change in format, the Association said the event, taking place from 6-8 October, would continue to offer the most robust educational programme available to water leisure professionals and would remain the once-a-year opportunity for professional growth and development. At what
is a key time for the industry,
increased coverage of waterparks this issue, including a three page report by David Sangree and Nuresh Maredia on the impact of Covid - 19 on US water parks and resorts in 2020; an interview with operations manager, Hassan Ramadan at
the newly opened
Garden City Water Park in Cambodia (p32); the latest from Surf
Endless Surf project (p55,) and more. Continuing
theme of team work and
the Wave in Vietnam on the WhiteWater the
collaboration, in a Park World exclusive I reveal that Ernest Yale of Triotech and Benoit Cornet of Bold Move have agreed for the two companies to work together to bring new and exciting media-based attractions to market, at prices operators can afford. Turn to pages 26& 27 for the full story – you heard it here first! All this and more inside Enjoy the issue
