Luciana Periales, the chief executive officer of Neverland Park in Argentina, has been named the second vice chair of IAAPA’s board of directors for 2024.

Periales will serve as the first vice chair of IAAPA in 2025 and lead the global association for the attractions industry as the chair of the board in 2026.
Periales is carrying on her family’s legacy in her role with Neverland, which was founded by her uncle, and today the company owns 30 attractions in Argentina and Spain.
She has been a volunteer and committee member with IAAPA for more than a decade.

“Her passion, expertise, and commitment to making a positive impact make her an exceptional choice to help steer IAAPA and the attractions industry toward a dynamic future.”
