Trends in the entertainment industry

As with any other industry, the entertainment industry must also adapt to technological progress, innovations, and the ever-increasing demand and expectations of visitors. If providers wish to satisfy the wishes of consumers and make sure that they remain visible and well-frequented in the industry, they must namely follow trends.

The graph below shows how since 1999 (with a decrease in 2007 and 2008) the average household consumption of the entertainment industry has increased sharply. The trends and innovations that these entertainment industries bring to their business are strongly contributing to this increased spending.

Over the years, the entertainment industry is on the rise

Although traditional theme parks or amusement parks are still popular, providers have begun developing somewhat different, more interesting offer in these parks. The ever-increasing expectations of visitors are something that the providers wish to satisfy. There is a growing desire for a more creative, holistic experience. Therefore, providers must ensure that every component or every part of the experience can be perceived as extremely fun by the users.

One very large component of a comprehensive experience may, for example, also be creative and high-quality cuisine. Theme amusement parks can therefore offer dishes consistent with the theme of the entire park.

Did you know?

One of the more successful theme parks is The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which is in Florida. The amusement park appeals to crowds with attractions such as a full-scale replica of the Hogwarts Express and the world's only duelling inverted rollercoaster, the Dragon Challenge. This shows that adding a theme to the whole adrenaline park really elevates the users experience and the same logic should also apply to trampoline parks.
