ProSlide, a world leader in the design and manufacture of water attractions, has promoted Nik Paas as the company’s new regional vice president of sales in the Asia Pacific region.
Paas served as ProSlide’s vice president of business development since 2010. From 2012, his role was focused predominantly on southeast Asia.
In his new position as regional vice president of sales – Asia Pacific, Nik Paas will be dedicated to developing ProSlide’s services and support in the region.
As Rick Hunter, chairman and CEO of ProSlide commented:
“Nik will play an elevated role in growing the ProSlide brand in Asia, collaborating with our offices in Shanghai and Seoul to connect regional partners with innovative products and services that are specifically tailored to their waterpark.”
Attendance figures for Asia’s leading entertainment sites have been witnessing significant growth in recent years. It is estimated that by 2020 China will be the world’s biggest amusement park industry.
Waterparks in Japan, Vietnam and Korea are also on the rise, with operators increasingly looking for innovative attractions to keep up with demand.
“With the high standards for excellence we’re seeing across the board in Asia, we anticipate continued demand for ProSlide rides,” said Paas.
“We look forward to future success for all our new and existing clients in the region,” he added.
