Safety has been at the heart of MENALAC’s mission since the very beginning.

In 2017, the association hosted its first Safety Conference, bringing together government representatives, operators, and safety professionals to discuss the frameworks and practices shaping a safer attractions industry in the region.

Topics ranged from regulatory standards and operational safety culture to ride maintenance, inspections, risk assessments, and emergency preparedness - all with the shared goal of strengthening safety across MENA theme parks, water parks, FECs and play areas.

It marked an important step in building a collaborative industry committed to best practice, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement.

A lot has evolved since then, but MENALAC’s commitment to safety remains just as strong.
