USA: Third FlyOver Attraction by Viad. Corp. Announced for Las Vegas
Yesterday, Viad Corporation, specialized amongst others in travel and recreation services in the US and Canada through its Pursuit business unit (a provider of attractions and hotels), announced plans to develop a new flying theater attraction in Las Vegas, Nevada. Since the end of 2016, the “FlyOver Canada” in Vancouver/British Columbia attraction has been part of the Pursuit portfolio – the business unit is responsible for the operation of the FlyOver attraction in Canada. The provider’s second FlyOver Attraction – “FlyOver Iceland” in the capital of Reykjavik – will be opened this coming July (cp. EAP news f. 5 Dec 2017).
Steve Moster, President & CEO of Viad. Corp, said, “We are very excited to announce another expansion of this successful attraction experience. The Las Veags market enjoys strong year-round tourism with more than 42 million visitors each year. We were able to secure a great location on Las Vegas Boulevard to create the new FlyOver Las Vegas experience. We expect to begin construction of the attraction later this year and should be welcoming our first guests in 2021.” (eap)
