Disney regards China as a key market. According to Shanghai officials, the Shanghai Disneyland project, which was suspended five years ago, has been reopened and preparations are under way.
Outlook Oriental Weekly quoted Qian Weizhong, director of Shanghai Nanhui Economic Committee, as saying that Shanghai Disneyland will be built in Chuansha Town, Pudong, and the residents on the land have moved.
Qian Weizhong explained that Shanghai asked the Central Committee about the Disney project before and after the Special Olympics. "The attitude of the central government has been made clear, and there is no suspense in restarting the Shanghai Disneyland project."
Although the central government has approved the Disney project in principle, the specific instructions have not yet been issued. Qian Weizhong said that as long as the central government formally approves the Disney project, Nanhui District can start construction immediately.
Qian Weizhong said that Shanghai Disneyland is an important project for the further development of Pudong. In the future, Pudong will build a new city integrating tourism, entertainment, logistics and industrial park from Chuansha Town and Disney to Yangshan Deepwater Port.
According to Outlook Oriental Weekly, the planned Pudong railway and rail transit 1 1 line in Shanghai has reserved Disney Station, and the passenger transport hubs planned by six eastern provinces are also near Disney.
Shanghai Disneyland covers an area of more than 6 kilometers, which is 4.7 times that of Hong Kong Disneyland. It is estimated that it will take at least five years to complete.
Hong Kong Disneyland did not comment on the Shanghai Disneyland project, but said that the company's focus is still on Hong Kong Disneyland, but Chinese mainland is also an important market.
Walter Disney (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. said in a statement: "China is a key market for Disney. The company maintains dialogue with relevant departments in China on various Disney projects such as TV, movies and consumer goods, and theme parks are one of them. "
Last week, the American Disney Company released the latest data. Since the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland in 2005, all the operating data have not reached the standard.
Disney said that it will decide to suspend the collection of royalties from Hong Kong Disneyland after discussions with the Hong Kong government to improve its financial situation. And consider expanding it to increase its appeal. (Source: Sing Tao Global Network)
