Facto Edizioni

WE'VE BEEN REPORTING ON THE LEISURE BUSINESS SINCE 1984 Founded in 1984 and based in Italy, Facto Edizioni was one of the very first in Europe and indeed the world to promote technical information for the emerging amusement park industry and travelling funfair operators. ECLECTIC SPIRIT Facto Edizioni has since its foundation always promoted several different editorial and non-editorial initiatives, aimed at increasing the professionalism of leisure operators and providing large and small companies with the most innovative tools to reach their customers. Year after year, international contacts and experiences – participation at and organisation of trade shows and conferences, visits to fun fairs and amusement parks around the world, collaborations with associations and companies – have made Facto Edizioni an authority in the sector. PUBLICATIONS Games & Parks Industry (since 1984) and Play Machine Europe (since 1990) are the historical ‘pillars' of Facto Edizioni's publishing business. In 1986, Facto Edizioni published its first book: "Leisure Parks around The World Vol.1". Our bookshop now features 38 international works. WE AWARD EXCELLENCE In 2002 Facto Edizioni established the annual international Golden Pony® Awards, to recognise excellence in the sector. To date, the Games & Parks Industry editorial staff has awarded over 350 parks, companies, travelling showmen and businesses that have stood out in the entertainment industry, from 53 countries. ALWAYS SUPPORTING OPERATORS Over the decades, the leisure industry has undergone a major transformation, as has the way society communicates and, consequently, sources its information. Facto Edizioni has taken on board all of these changes. Over time, we have upgraded our magazines and our offering, moving into digital, social media and new communication tools such as corporate videos and video interviews. We have sought and found new ways to support readers and businesses.
