About Us
Our Mission
The Themed Experience & Attractions Academic Society exists to enhance communication between themed experience and attractions researchers and educators in order to create new knowledge, add to the body of work in the field and facilitate teaching and learning.
The TEAAS actively engages with the academic community through a scholarly journal, and academic symposium, a dedicated website and through social media.
