More than 15,000 leisure, tourism, and entertainment professionals from more than 100 countries are expected to discover new business opportunities, learn from global experts, and establish valuable professional connections.
“We are excited to return to ‘the city of light’ for IAAPA Expo Europe,” said Hal McEvoy, President and CEO, IAAPA. “The many attractions around Paris reflect the vast diversity of the global attractions industry.
