With such a positive mindset running through the sec- tor, it’s understandably tempting to always hope for the best and to focus on innovation, outreach, development, and growth, rather than spending time imagining the many disasters that could befall even the best prepared. So when things go wrong and a backward step is forced on us in the form of some kind of incident, it can be jar- ring from the point of view of organisation culture and leave attractions operators very exposed if emergency planning hasn’t been top of the to-do list.

  • ACE's Scandinavian Sojourn

    ACE's Scandinavian Sojourn

    ACE’s Scandinavian Sojourn : A Southerner’s Perspective Story by: Richard Bostic, assisted by Ronny Cook When I went on the ACEspana trip back in 2009, it was by far one of the most amazing vacations I have ever experienced. In addition to getting to visit parks in a different culture than we see here, it is also a great opportunity to spend time with fellow enthusiasts and grow friendships while enjoying our common interests. When Scandinavia Sojourn was announced for the summer of 2011, I knew it was a trip I could not miss. Since the 2009 trip was my first trip to Europe I thought that there was no way the over- all experience could be better in Scandinavia. I was wrong. We landed in Helsinki, Finland around 1300 the day before we were required to be at the hotel to meet with the group. Helsinki is an interesting city and fairly new compared to many cities in Europe. Walking around the city you can see the Russian influence in the city’s architecture. In fact, many movies during the cold war would use Helsinki to shoot scenes that are supposed to be set in the Soviet Union. After making our way to the Crowne Plaza Hotel and getting a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant we decided to spend the remaining time that afternoon checking out some of the sites around our hotel. Some of these sites included the Temppeliaukio Church inside of a rock formation, the train station, Routatientori Square and National Theater, and a couple of the city’s art museums.

NOUVEAU POLE D’ATTRACTION DES CHAMPS-ELYSEES Après 24 mois d’esquisses, d’études, et de mise en œuvre, la façade du siège de Publicis se donne toutes les nuits en spectacle. 17 000 LED en action le métamorphose en une entité de lumière unique au monde. Comme un emblème du rayonnement français. UNE SIGNATURE LUMINEUSE D’EXCEPTION A partir du 7 juillet 2014, Publicis Groupe dévoilera à ses collaborateurs et au grand public la nouvelle illumination de la façade du siège du Groupe situé au 133, avenue des Champs-Elysées.
