Theme parks, musuems, waterparks, zoos and cultural and heritage attractions are increasingly looking to becomedestinations in themselves, rather 
than simple half or one day visits. To this end many are adding hotels and increasing their offering, meaning that their guests stay longer on the property and spend more money.
They are also adding spectacular evening events to the mix. These range from simple theatrical productions to huge extravanganzas, with state-of-the-art technology, video mapping and lasers creating unique and memorable shows and experiences.
