Editor's corner
Our enewsletter provides you with informative articles on designing and operating location-based entertainment venues and onw staying competitive in a changing market. You won't find most of our content in other industry publications or blogs.

We sincerely appreciate your subscription and thank you for reading our Leisure eNewsletter.
By the way, our Leisure eNewsletter is still written by people. We use AI, specifically Perplexity Pro for research, and ChatGPT to create photos and graphics (the ones in this issue). When using AI for research, we still verify the sources, as AI often hallucinates, cites irrelevant sources, and gets confused.
