The IAAPA Expo Asia, formerly the Asian Attractions Expo, is a highly anticipated event in the Asia Pacific region. It brings together industry professionals from all over the world to discover the latest innovations and trends. It is a fantastic opportunity for operators looking to save time, grow revenue, and delight their guests by sharing best practices, networking with peers, and engaging in special events.
Our team had a wonderful time at the expo this year, which was made extra special after being canceled for the last couple of years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and chat with many business leaders doing such impressive things to deliver great experiences. And it was an excellent opportunity for the ROLLER team to take the stage to discuss “How Data-Driven Tech Drives Business Growth & Delivers World-Class Experiences.”
See the highlights below.
Streamlining technology to make better sense of data
Our very own Account Executive, Chris McBoyle, was joined by David Lim from Forrest Adventure and Bounce and Zishan Amir from ZRG Adventures & Consulting to present an informative and insightful speaking session that gives business leaders actionable insights as to how they can better utilize the data at their fingertips to drive growth within their organizations.
In Asia, like many other places of the world, the pandemic played a critical role in accelerating the adoption of technology. We saw that in the attractions and leisure industry too! Particularly in Singapore, where this year’s IAAPA Expo Asia was hosted, the industry was propelled into the future as operators became much more digitally literate, partly driven by government incentives.
So how do we solve this? To drive business growth, venue operators must move away from siloed working methods to systems that empower their teams to scale effectively. Optimizing your tech stack helps build collaboration and efficiencies across teams while maintaining the brand at an HQ level.
At ROLLER, operators come to us with this common challenge all of the time. We work with them to transition to a single platform that allows them to run their business easily. To learn more about how exactly that works, get in touch.
What operators hope to achieve in 2023 and beyond
In addition to sharing practical ways to solve everyday challenges during our speaking session, we heard straight from the ground what attractions operators want most from their business in the next 12 months. See what they had to say.

Ability to take action based on guest feedback
By utilizing our Guest Experience Score (GX Score) feedback tool, operators can efficiently collect valuable feedback from their guests. Our tool sends out surveys to guests at the appropriate time, asking direct and insightful questions to help improve the overall experience at your venue.
Surveys are sent shortly after guests' visits, allowing you to promptly address any negative feedback and prevent it from being shared publicly. Incorporating the GX Score can elevate your guests' experience and ensure their satisfaction. Our customers have seen a 27% increase in guest satisfaction when using the tool!
