E-Adventure Festival’s Post

When I hold presentations about trends in the attractions industry, I always talk about the increased competition in this market. We see this also in our membership structure at IAAPA. While we used to be an association mainly for amusement parks, zoos, FECs, water parks, museums, and attractions, we now welcome many other members to the association and to our events and Expos. We especially see a growing number in Retailtainment, Cruise Ships as well as regional and local festivities, which become part of our industry. These shouldn't be considered as competition for time and money, but also as inspiration. Companies like IKEA and Karls Erdbeerhof in retail or Tomorrowland in terms of festivals are just some examples. However, I'm also fascinated by the development of many resorts in the mountains developing themselves into true attractions. SATA GROUP (Alpe d'Huez, Les 2 Alpes et la Grave) in France or Tourismusverband Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis are doing amazing jobs in diversifying their offer all-season round for all generations. I now saw a new attraction by LA PLAGNE RESORT, which is so simple but at the same time "géniale" (to say it in French): an open-air cabin to use with safety harness on an existing cable car. What a cool idea! Well done Compagnie des Alpes and everyone involved. https://lnkd.in/epHwbf7R

SHOWING YOU WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE DOING: Fundamental Marine Developments

I’m thrilled to unveil my latest video project, an exciting milestone in my journey as a filmmaker. During the recent congress in Spain, which brought together Belgian travel professionals, one of the main themes was the use of artificial intelligence in tourism. This focus on AI sparked my interest and inspired me to explore how AI could enhance the storytelling in my video. It made perfect sense to demonstrate the possibilities of AI through this medium. In this video, I used AI to create a soundtrack, highlighting the key moments of the congress in three languages: Spanish, French, and Dutch. The use of AI in audiovisual creation raises many questions: • The most important for me: Do you like the result? Do you see other kinds of projects where I should or shouldn’t use it? • How can AI transform our approach to storytelling? • Can AI replace the human touch in the art of video making? I would love to hear your opinions and experiences on this topic. Watch the video below. A special thanks to Sébastien Crucifix (and teams at VVR - Association Flemish Travel Professionals & UPAV (Union Professionnelle des Agences de Voyages)) for trusting me with this innovative project.

Let's look at the space 🚀 and use data also from there! Urška Starc-Peceny, lead of Tourism 4.0 by Arctur participated in an event organized by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA), where she spoke about "Tourism 4.0 and EO data." The discussion emphasized the innovative use of EU Space data, geospatial intelligence, and 3D rendering in transforming tourism and cultural heritage. The goal was to explore how these technologies can support strategic decision-making, enhance environmental monitoring, and aid in preserving cultural landmarks.

The skin of sharks inspires diving suits, the look of birds helps to design more energy-efficient aircraft... Nature is a powerful source of inspiration and innovation. For this reason, at L’Oréal, we closely observe and draw from the strategies of living organisms to tackle cosmetic challenges such as sensoriality, durability, resistance, color, UV protection, hygiene, and more. Through our biomimetic approach, we transform these natural mechanisms into solutions that meet a dual objective: creating beauty products that are both high-performing and more sustainable. Diverse, local, ecosystem-based, and efficient, nature is indeed a model for offering sustainable beauty. This aligns with our commitments for 2030 under L’Oréal for the Future, where we aim to tackle climate change, manage water responsibly, preserve natural resources, protect biodiversity, and create a positive social impact. Nature can achieve so much! Let’s be inspired together.

With the Estrela E-Bike Center project focused throughout the year on smaller and more personalized events, we felt it was relevant to carry out one of our best-known tours. That's why we're opening registrations for the Transestrela Summer Edition 2024 to be held from the 13th to the 15th of September in Serra da Estrela mountain. This is the first of two major events that we will hold this year opened to larger groups. Exclusive to e-bikes, it will take place between the locations of Penhas da Saúde, Manteigas and Verdelhos and will be limited to 20 participants. To register, simply send us an email to estrela.ebikecenter@gmail.com with your name, address, NIF and cell phone number. We will then speed up the entire process and will contact you. Depending on the interest shown, we may also be able to organize a guided walk parallel to Transestrela 2024 for those who want to bring a companion. One more argument to come to the highest point in mainland Portugal, enjoy the landscapes, gastronomy and challenges we pose. We're waiting for you at 1,600 meters above sea level to come and cycle the mountain. #serradaestrela #ebikes #mobility #sustainability #visiteserradaestrela #turismodeportugal #turismodocentro #pousadadejuventudedaserradaestrela

There are times when the "highways" in Serra da Estrela mountain are the water pipes that connect lagoons to lakes. Without spoiling things, at Estrela E-Bike Center project we sometimes take the participants along these paths that go around Estrela and allow us to see villages like Sabugueiro in the distance. These are the nooks and crannies of this lesser-known Serra da Estrela that we make a point of taking our participants to. We will soon open registrations for Transestrela 2024 to be held in September. Coming soon...😉 #serradaestrela #ebikes #mobility #sustainability #visiteserradaestrela #turismodeportugal #turismodocentro #pousadadejuventudedaserradaestrela
