Turkey’s AQUAFUN exhibition to attract aquatic, pool and water entertainment professionals

With Turkey sitting where Asia and Europe come together, the 2025 AQUAFUN is to focus on increasing its claim as a transcontinental gathering for the aquatic, pool and water entertainment industry.

Being held in Istanbul, alongside the 12th International ATRAX Expo, from 30th January to 1st February 2025, the organisers of AQUAFUN advise that the combined event is “preparing to bring together global buyers under one roof by combining entertainment and play areas, theme parks, water parks, pools and spa centres, sports, outdoor activity areas, parks, landscapes, green areas, gardens, outdoor space products, and many more options.

“Designed to meet the needs of facility and social area investors as an international trade exhibition, it provides a rich platform with high investment potential and product variety.”

Spread across six exhibition halls segmented by product groups, covering 55,000 square metres, the exhibition brings together hundreds of participants from around the world, thousands of products and services, and tens of thousands of visitors.

Showing 80% growth since its first year, ATRAX-AQUAFUN is Turkey's only international specialised pool industry exhibition, attracting the attention of professional buyers worldwide.

Organised by Tureks Uluslararası Fuarcılık and taking place at Istanbul Expo Centre the event will fill six of the venue’s halls.

Looking forward to the event, a Tureks Uluslararası Fuarcılık spokesperson advised “the success of last year and the increasing number of global visitors are leading to high expectations for this year's expo.

“The loyalty and trust of companies that participated in previous years, along with the participation of many new firms, are enhancing the exhibitions international appeal and interest.”

The event also features the OUTDES-Outdoor Design Expo, focussing on outdoor living with gardens, outdoor furniture and accessories.

Visitor density at the expo is expected from Turkey as well as Middle East, Africa, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Russia, Romania, and other European countries.
