A smart amusement park does more than operate — it senses, processes and responds.

From access and movement to operations and guest services, connected systems are changing how parks understand what is happening in real time and how quickly they can act.

The real opportunity isn’t technology for technology’s sake. It’s using better information to create smoother operations, faster decisions and a better guest experience.

As attractions become more connected, the question is:
Which park system makes the biggest difference to guest experience?

IAAPI Chairman Ankur Maheshwary's visit to the 18th GTI China Expo in Guangzhou has led to a significant step forward for India-China cooperation in the amusement industry.

Following discussions between IAAPI and GTI, both sides agreed to accelerate exhibition cooperation and business engagement between the Chinese and Indian amusement industries. The conversation centered on a clear complementary fit: China's strength in amusement equipment technology, R&D and manufacturing, alongside India's fast-growing market — expanding at nearly 15% annually.

Three concrete steps are now in motion:
→ IAAPI will actively mobilize its members to participate in the 2027 GTI Southeast Asia Expo
→ GTI plans to bring around 20 leading Chinese manufacturers to the IAAPI Expo (3-5 March 2027) for industry exchanges and business discussions
→ Ahead of the delegation's visit, both sides will hold an online matchmaking session to connect Chinese and Indian companies by product, technology and business fit — so in-person meetings in India can move straight to substantive discussions

A proposed China-India Amusement Industry Strategic Cooperation Alliance was also discussed, aimed at supporting long-term collaboration in technology, market development, investment and manufacturing.

These remain preliminary agreements, with specific arrangements subject to further confirmation — but they mark a meaningful move toward closer ties between the two industries.

IAAPI Chairman, Mr Ankur Maheshwary, delivered the welcome address at the Opening Ceremony of the 18th GTI China Expo in Guangzhou, China.

In his address, he highlighted the growing opportunities for collaboration between the Indian and Chinese amusement industries, extending beyond the buying and selling of equipment to technology partnerships and manufacturing tie-ups.
With evolving import duties, freight costs and logistics challenges, he also highlighted how Make in India can emerge as an attractive opportunity for international manufacturers looking to access and grow in the Indian market.

IAAPI continues to strengthen international industry partnerships and create new avenues for collaboration, investment and growth.

The numbers tell an important story for India’s amusement industry.

IAAPI’s Summer Season Performance Survey 2026 points to encouraging growth, with 57% of operators reporting revenue growth and 74% of manufacturers and suppliers seeing higher demand. At the same time, 72% of operators reported increased expenses, highlighting the growing cost pressures across the sector.

The GST Rationalisation Survey also reflects a clear industry sentiment: 84% of respondents believe the current 18% GST rate is too high, while a majority favour a lower tax structure that could help improve affordability for visitors and support sustainable industry growth.

These findings provide valuable insight into where the sector stands today, and what can help unlock its next phase of growth.

What are we ultimately building for?

The final session of AMTP 2026 looked beyond immediate business outcomes to explore a larger idea — legacy.

In More Than Business: Building Legacy, Rajesh Malpani, Chairman, Malpani Group, shared perspectives on building organisations, experiences and institutions with a longer-term vision.

A fitting thought with which to conclude a day dedicated to learning, growth and the future of the amusement industry.

Build for today. Build for tomorrow. Build legacy.

Safety is the foundation of every great amusement experience.

At AMTP 2026, Pradeep K Sharma, Chairman & Managing Director, Bombay Amusement Ride P Limited, led a knowledge session on BIS standards for amusement ride safety, including IS 15475:2022 — Code of Recommended Practice for Amusement Rides Safety.

The session highlighted how safety extends across the complete ride lifecycle — from design, manufacturing and installation to risk assessment, operator competency, training and supervision.

For manufacturers, operators and park teams alike, understanding and consistently applying the right standards is essential to building safer, more reliable guest experiences.

Know the standard. Build for safety.
