Mitigating Challenges

PROACTIVELY ADDRESSING REGULATORY CHALLENGES
IAAPA is your advocate in the evolving landscape of European safety regulations. We're closely monitoring files covering machinery equipment and other industry specific topics. We champion the industry’s scientifically proven strong safety levels. Our team of safety experts is working diligently to identify any risks and determine the best course of action to protect your interests.
Stakeholder Relations

BUILDING STRATEGIC CONNECTIONS TO SUPPORT INDUSTRY ADVOCACY
IAAPA is a member of the Network for the European Private Sector in Tourism (NET group), an informal network of representative trade associations from the private sector in European tourism. Membership provides IAAPA members with access to intelligence and a cost-efficient vehicle for lobbying, as NET members regularly bring their voices together to promote various issues of interest.
Security

Strengthening Industry Security Through Collaboration and Guidance
As a member, you benefit from our active participation in the European Commission Operators’ Forum for the Protection of Public Spaces. We've developed security guidelines specifically for IAAPA members and are working directly with European Commission officials to deliver workshops on their security checklist that will be hosted at a member facility.
