One of the most useless Disney parks is located in Paris. 1972, Disney Company had the idea of building parks in Europe. At that time, because of the success of Tokyo Disneyland, many countries and cities were attracted to compete for this project. But in the end, this project was successfully won by Paris, because there are 68 million ultra-high traffic in Paris within 4 hours' drive. So in 1985, Paris got a piece of land of 20 square kilometers from the government, and then it was built with 10 billion dollars. The garden didn't open until 1992. Relatively speaking, the process of Paris Disneyland is more bumpy than that of Shanghai Disneyland, because it took only five years for Shanghai Disneyland to choose the site and open the park, while it took 20 years for Paris Disneyland.
Disneyland Paris is the first Disney theme park in Europe, and the theme of the park completely follows the American style. There are 29 large restaurants, 1 1 hotel restaurants and 7 hotels in Paris Disneyland. The hotel names are named after some American states. The number of workers in the park is estimated to be more than 55,000. The most interesting thing in the park is the Princess Hotel with the highest castle. Here, you can not only enjoy the super luxurious guest room facilities, but also see the scenery of the whole park. If you want to stay here for one night, you need to pay $65,438+$200,000.
Shopping street, snack street, fairy tale street, Mickey street, etc. Other national theme parks are equipped with the standard of Paris Disneyland. Even so, the number of visitors to Paris Disneyland in its first year of operation is not objective. To this end, the head office spent more than 1 billion dollars to install the world's first new version of Space Mountain here, and also launched the theme magic movement here for the first time? .
At that time, Disneyland Paris made a very optimistic forecast on the number of tourists, and it was estimated that it would welcome10.4 million visitors every hour. But it is also because they are too confident about the estimate that they can't make ends meet. In order to reduce losses, investors also borrowed money everywhere to remedy. By 1995, the construction cost of Paris Disneyland had increased to $5 billion. After that, the headquarters also exempted the interest of $654.38+700 million, so 654.38+0.996 didn't lose money for the first time. However, in 2002, Paris Disneyland was once again overwhelmed, so the headquarters built new theme equipment here again.
Although the investment of Tokyo Disney is less than half that of Paris, it has always been profitable; As the largest Orlando Disney in the United States, it also makes a lot of money. But on the surface, it seems that many tourists' Paris Disney has been losing money, even dragging down 13 investors and three funds, so it is also called Paris Disney? The most disappointing paradise in the world? . Because no one here is willing to invest, the head office has no choice but to get back 85.7% of the shares here.
At present, the area of Paris Disneyland is nearly seven Shanghai Disneyland, and the number of staff here is seven times that of Shanghai. However, the average spending of tourists in Paris Disneyland is not much, only 45 dollars more than that in Shanghai. Moreover, in the past 25 years, there have been losses in 23 years, and only 1996 and 20 12 have no losses.
