Building a more resilient future for the attractions industry

At IAAPA, sustainability involves three interconnected dimensions:

• Economic - ensuring long-term financial stability

We believe sustainability is essential to the future of the attractions industry. As the global association representing facilities, manufacturers, and suppliers across amusement parks, theme parks, water parks, family entertainment centers, zoos, aquariums, museums, science centers and more, we are committed to advancing sustainable business practices that benefit our members and their guests.

While our sustainability journey is evolving, IAAPA is actively integrating environmental, social, and governance principles into our operations and supporting the industry in doing the same.
