Leisure Food and Beverage Expo launched - There were already several stands across the shows promoting their slush puppy businesses, popcorn carts and snacks. These brands wanted to reach out to holiday parks and visitor attractions to be stocked in their gift shops and cafeterias. Initially, these exhibitors were gathered together in one area, creating a 'mini show' before it was developed into a brand itself.
Leisure Toy and Gift Fair launched - A dedicated zone was added specifically for toys and gifts which could be sourced for onsite shops within visitor attractions.
