In October 2019, the Asia Pacific Division of the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) participated in the 6th SCPR – The Summit of Chinese Park & Resort, organised by Beijing Shouhuan Cultural Tourism Investment Company (BSH Investment). The Summit invites 300 participants from sectors that are part of the theme park industry chain – such as tourism and travel, intellectual property, business, technology, creative disciplines, real estate and planning – as well as organisations serving the global theme park industry, such as the TEA.

BSH Investment was founded to support the investment of Universal Beijing Resort. A featured speaker was Tom Mehrmann, president and general Manager, Universal Beijing Resort.
