Dear Readers,
 
March was a highly anticipated month for the MENA region’s leisure, entertainment and amusement industry and what a month it was! Alongside DEAL 2023, we held our three-day Summit that brought together industry leaders from across the region and beyond. The MENALAC Waterpark Conference, LEA CEO Conclave and the LEA Safety Day Conference gave attendees the opportunity to educate, inspire and network. These MENALAC initiatives culminated in the Awards Gala, an evening of celebration that saw 29 winners presented with a coveted MENALAC award.
 
A big thank you to all our nominees for participating and a big congratulations to all the winners. Special coverage of the awards will be available soon to watch and listen to, do check out exclusive insights from guests and reactions from winners on our YouTube channel.
 
A little note to our Hall of Fame Awardee, the late Mr. Alberto Zamperla. Thanks to his dedication and hard work, the industry's standards and innovations have improved greatly.  He will be deeply missed and never forgotten. He will always be in our hearts as a family member, friend, and business partner. This month’s podcast ‘Member Musing’, which is now available across our platforms, focuses on the career and legacy of Alberto Zamperla upon being posthumously awarded the MENALAC Hall of Fame 2023. His son, Antonio Zamperla spoke about his father’s dedication and love for the leisure, entertainment and amusement industry in this podcast episode.
