We met with Colin Dawson, Chief Executive of BALPPA, to discuss how we would be working together for Attractions Expo @ LIW '09. We discussed the education programme, the social element (which if you know the Attractions industry will not be a surprise!) and our forthcoming steering committee at Cadbury World. The steering committee consists of attraction operators and suppliers and it helps us shape the industry’s involvement in Attractions Expo. By the way, if you are in the attractions industry and would like to participate in the steering committee then please email chris.brown@ubm.com.
While we were with Colin we asked him what he thought the forthcoming season had in store for the attractions industry. This is what he had to say:
Colin’s optimism seems well founded particularly if UK holidaymakers holiday at home and the strong Euro and Dollar encourages an increase in overseas visitors. A good summer would also not go amiss having endured two wet ones back to back.
BALPPA also invest heavily in political lobbying and we asked Colin what were the focuses for 2009. They are essentially two recession busting ideas that should really help our attractions industry weather the economic storm, so we hope the Government sits up and takes notice.
