IAAPA has released a new member resource, COVID-19 Reopening Guidace: Considerations for the Global Attractions Industry. The free 36-page document can be found at https://iaapa.org/sites/default/files/2020-05/IAAPA_COVID-19_ReopeningGuidance_final.pdf
The safety of guests and employees remains the attractions industry’s number-one priority. This free global resource outlines principles and approaches to consider as park operators prepare to reopen once local government officials in their area remove “stay-at-home” orders, allow non-essential businesses to reopen, and say it’s safe for citizens to move around their community.
This guidance covers important topics, including:
- Physical Distancing: Calculating Capacities
- Face Masks / Cloth Face Coverings for Employees and Guests
- Sanitation / Housekeeping / Cleaning Operations
- Human Resources
- Rides, Attractions, Exhibits
- Water Park Operations
- Food and Beverage Operations
- Retail and Merchandise
- Games, Arcades, and other Family Entertainment Center Attractions
- Theaters, Entertainment, Shows, and Animal Experiences/Encounters
- Restroom Cleanliness
- Guest Confidence and Communication
- And more …
While this document is a first edition, the goal is to create updated editions to help the global attractions industry begin to recover in the wake of COVID-19 as IAAPA gathers and refines this information.
