Wow, I've really been busy! I recently gave a two-hour seminar at the agritourism convention in Charleston, SC (and had some great eating experiences at a number of the city's chef-driven boutique restaurants while there) and gave the opening keynote presentation at the prestigious Entertainment Experience Evolution (interfaceconferencegroup.com/ event/ entertainment-experience-evolution-2020/ ) conference in Las Angeles (see article this issue) (www.whitehutchinson.com/ news/ lenews/ 2020/ february/ article106.shtml#article) .
When you receive this issue, I'll be in New England helping an existing location-based entertainment center try to understand why they're seeing a decline in their attendance and what they need to do to grow their business. I have been working a lot recently with attraction-based venues who are experiencing declining attendance due to a culture shift in out-of-home entertainment that we explain in one of this issue's stories (www.whitehutchinson.com/ news/ lenews/ 2020/ february/ article106.shtml#article) and from the growing competition that several of our other stories report on.
Then, in a little over a week, I'm off to a county in Pennsylvania where we've been hired to assist some of their farmers develop agritourism businesses (see article this issue (www.whitehutchinson.com/ news/ lenews/ 2020/ february/ article104.shtml#article) ).
We have also been doing a lot of work recently with shopping centers and malls on evaluating and developing entertainment experiences for them. I was pleased to be featured as a location-based entertainment expert in a Curbed article: "Dying malls seek second life entertainment destinations." You can check out the article here (www.curbed.com/ 2020/ 2/ 18/ 21137819/ malls-real-estate-entertainment) .
