Leading Global Protocols for the New Normal - Attractions

Abstract

The below suggested protocols for the attractions industry were compiled on the basis of insights and frameworks developed by the Global Association for the Attraction Industry (IAAPA) to support the safe, healthy and responsible restart of attractions around the world. The objective is to ensure that protocols are in place across all relevant functions with an increased focus on health, safety and physical distancing standards which travellers will need and expect. Within these protocols, the attractions industry refers to a wide variety of facilities and venues such as aquariums, amusement parks, family entertainment centres, museums, science centres, theme parks, water parks, zoos and other entertainment & cultural attractions. It also includes non-fixed location day-tour experiences such as hop on, hop-off buses. Unlike mass gatherings, such as sports arenas and concerts, capacity can be managed and/or reduced to allow for appropriate physical distancing. What’s more exposure time is limited, and a large percentage of attraction attendance is made up of family members who live in the same home and thus do not need to be physically distanced from one another…
