Edgar Mercado

Throughout my international career, I saw how valuable industry knowledge was often fragmented across markets, organizations and individual professionals. Finding reliable information, practical operating guidance and the right industry resources could take considerable time, especially when organizations needed to make important development, investment or operational decisions.

I created ATLAS to bring that knowledge together in one accessible platform designed specifically for the attractions and entertainment industry. The idea was to create a practical resource where developers, operators, investors, suppliers and professionals could understand markets, access structured professional products, follow industry activity and discover relevant business opportunities.

ATLAS reflects my belief that better access to knowledge can help organizations make stronger decisions, improve performance, create better guest experiences and contribute to the continued growth of the global attractions and entertainment industry.

Edgar holds a Master's degree in Political Science and International Relations from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Administration from Universidad Iberoamericana.

Additional studies in project management, international economics, trade and negotiation complement the practical, globally minded approach behind ATLAS.
