Hal McEvoy: attractions sector must improve sustainability
Sustainability remains an area where, despite some improvement, the attractions sector must do better, according to IAAPA CEO and president, Hal McEvoy.
"We could be better and are improving, in terms of addressing sustainability and understanding societal trends," said McEvoy, speaking to Attractions Management.
"We also have to be more responsible with how the industry delivers, offering products that complement the environment. Not just in our industry, but companies are now introducing sustainability statements. It's a focus the global industry should be heading toward."
In the interview, McEvoy also spoke about the impact that IAAPA's new HQ in Orlando will have, once it is up and running. "It's going to help us as an organisation provide the services we need to help the attractions industry succeed," he said.
