Editor's corner

Our Leisure eNewsletter is unique among industry publications because we cover many trends that affect location-based entertainment venues. This is entirely different than coverage you'll find in industry publications about the newest arcade games, the newest POS system, or new attractions. Yes, they are important, but they won't succeed if the venue's concept and the overall experience it offers guests isn't on target for current and future trends. We spend a lot of time researching trends to ensure our clients' projects succeed long-term. We continue to see too many new centers being prisoners of the past, what we call "paradigm paralysis" rather than understanding and designing for all the rapid changes underway that will affect what works long-term.

We have five articles to share with you in this issue about some of location-based entertainment trends plus a rather amazing AI-generated podcast on social gaming venues using some of our articles as its source material.

If you want to discuss a project, please contact me (www.whitehutchinson.com/ contact/ ) . Be sure to include your phone number so I can give you a call.

We genuinely appreciate your subscription and thank you for reading our Leisure eNewsletter. Our growth depends on readers like you who enjoy it and help spread the word about our publication.
