L'enthousiasme était de mise dans les allées du centre des expositions de la Porte de Versailles de Paris, il y a de cela deux semaines, alors que l'Euro Attractions Show célébrait son 10ème anniversaire dans la ville lumière.

Après un passage réussi à Berlin l'an dernier, l'IAAPA avait forgé de grandes attentes pour cette édition, visant de nouveaux records de fréquentation, du nombre d'exposants et de surface d'exposition. Et le pari est gagné ! Les premiers chiffres montrent que plus de 8.500 personnes se sont inscrites, y compris plus de 5.900 acheteurs qualifiés, tandis que 393 exposants ont fait le déplacement à Paris.
