For over a century, one global organization has stood at the epicenter of the attractions industry's evolution – IAAPA (International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions). 

Founded in 1918, IAAPA represents more than 5,300 member facilities and supplier companies across 100+ countries, driving excellence in operations, safety, and innovation through unparalleled networking, education, and advocacy initiatives. 

For manufacturers like Guangdong Funcore Amusement Equipment Co., Ltd. (Member ID: 1333944), creators of the dynamic LOOKIIDO soft playgrounds, trampoline parks, and adventure play systems, IAAPA membership unlocks a strategic universe of opportunities. 

Here's why membership matters now more than ever.


The IAAPA Advantage: Where Global Industry Connects

At its core, IAAPA functions as the central nervous system of the worldwide attractions ecosystem. Its value manifests across four critical dimensions:


1. Networking Powerhouse: 

IAAPA dissolves borders, connecting manufacturers like LOOKIIDO directly with decision-makers from theme parks, water parks, FECs, zoos, museums, and resorts. The association's Manufacturer/Supplier/Consultant Membership tier is engineered to help businesses forge partnerships with leading operators worldwide – precisely the audience playground innovators need to reach.


2. Market Intelligence & Education: 

Members gain exclusive access to trend reports, safety standards, operational best practices, and educational programming. For instance, IAAPA's Funworld magazine and daily industry briefings deliver real-time insights into visitor preferences and emerging tech – crucial for designing next-generation play structures.


3. Advocacy & Standards Leadership: 

As safety dominates operator priorities, IAAPA sets global benchmarks and lobbies for sensible regulations. This ensures companies like Funcore operate within a framework recognized for excellence worldwide.


4. Global Growth Catalysts: 

IAAPA's physical presence has expanded strategically with offices in Orlando, Brussels, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Mexico City – and now Dubai – ensuring localized support amid global reach.
