AECOM to Share Economics Perspective on Global Attractions Industry at TEA Summit March 19John Robinett and Linda Cheu of AECOM will discuss global economic trends in the attractions industry March 19 on the first day of the TEA Summit (Day One), the annual business conference of the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA). TEA and AECOM collaborate every year to produce the TEA/AECOM Theme Index and Museum Index, reporting on the world's top-attended visitor attractions, and AECOM's economics presentation at the TEA Summit is a highlight of the meeting. The annual TEA Summit (March 19 - 20) is followed by the annual Thea Awards Gala (March 21) at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California. Summit Day One is chaired by TEA immediate-past president Christine Kerr of BaAM Productions, and Ann Hathaway of Mousetrappe and Arc Thematic LLC. "The curriculum for Day One of the TEA Summit will be focused on numbers, insights, and trends that will give experience creators and owner operators the tools and understanding they need to make the right decisions for the future," says Kerr. "Topics will include a look at global trends presented by AECOM, a panel discussion of what the emerging trends mean to the future of the industry, a survey by members of the media on projects to watch around the world, and a report on how owner operators are employing visitor data to improve guest experiences." The second day of the TEA Summit (March 20) is Thea Case Studies Day, showcasing some 15 projects and people set to be officially honored with Thea Awards at the Gala the following evening. Tickets for each day of the TEA Summit (March 19 and 20) and for the Thea Awards Gala (March 21) can be purchased at the URL below.
