IAAPA Expands Global Advocacy in 2025

In 2025, IAAPA is expanding our public affairs efforts in Europe and adding South America, and the Asia-Pacific region, while continuing to build on our strong presence in North America. These initiatives will address key issues such as regulatory challenges, sustainability, workforce development, and safety standards to support members globally.

By engaging with policymakers and regional stakeholders, we aim to amplify the industry’s voice and provide members with tools to navigate an evolving global landscape. Stay tuned for updates as we continue to advocate for the future of attractions worldwide.
