Statements about aquanale 2025

Together with Koelnmesse, the European Waterpark Association demonstrated in a special ‘Digital Waterpark’ exhibition at aquanale 2025 that the dynamic development surrounding the topics of artificial intelligence and digital tools has long since shaped the water park and leisure industry. Our EWA Lounge once again became the central meeting point in Hall 8, and we were delighted to welcome numerous guests.

aquanale has demonstrated that trade fairs are still in demand. Nowhere else does the entire industry come together and network with national and international partners. In addition to the numerous innovations, there were many opportunities for further training and exchange. And, of course, for celebration.

aquanale was an inspiring and well-organized event with a great atmosphere and valuable industry connections. For Sauna from Finland , it’s an important platform to meet partners, discover new trends, and exchange ideas. We left with many new contacts and fresh inspiration for future projects. We’re already looking forward to aquanale 2027!

We were impressed by the professionalism of everyone involved and the outstanding organization—from the show itself to the official fair party. Despite a challenging economic environment, we sensed consistently positive sentiment across the board, both domestically and internationally. That gives us strong momentum for the months ahead.

The exhibition was characterised by a consistently positive and optimistic mood – among both exhibitors and visitors. Once again this year, it provided an excellent platform for enhancing existing networks and establishing new contacts. Overall, we were very pleasantly surprised by the response and the inspiring conversations. We are already looking forward to returning in 2027 together with our partners.
