Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Disney announces a new theme park in Abu Dhabi, its first new resort in a generation
There are six Disney theme parks and resorts around the world.
1. Disneyland Resort (California) opened in 1955
2. Walt Disney World (Florida) Resort in 1971
3. Tokyo Disney Resort in 1983
4. Disneyland Paris in 1992
5. Hong Kong Disneyland Resort in 2005
6. Shanghai Disney Resort in 2016
You can see when and where economic growth was expected. So, where will the next Disney resort be? Disney announced that its 7th theme park will be developed in Abu Dhabi, its first theme park resort in the Middle East. Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates with a population of about 3.8 million, about the same as the nearby emirate, Dubai, which is only 140 kilometers away. Both Abu Dhabi and Dubai have busy international airports. Combined, over 120 million terminal and transit passengers flew in and out of these two airports by Etihad Airways, Emirates, Flydubai (LCC), Air India, and many other airlines. If you take a look at a world map centered on the UAE, you’ll find prosperous Europe, populous South Asia, and growing Africa are all within the reach of non-stop flights. Then what kind of Disney theme park is going to be developed in its first resort in the Islamic emirate?
