This event follows the successful TEA SATE Europe 2023 which took place earlier this year at Europa-Park in Rust, Germany.
Last month, the TEA also announced the release of its latest global attractions attendance report. Now in its 17th annual edition, the TEA/AECOM Theme Index and Museum Index provides information on the world’s most-visited theme parks, water parks and museums. It studies the attractions sector by region – the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa (EMEA).
