Fantasyland
Article Abstract:
Walt Disney plans to set up a theme park in Hong Kong called Disneyland Hong Kong. The project involves an investment by Hong Kong of 88% of the cost, with 57% of the equity in exchange for this investment. A previous plan involved no investment by Walt Disney, so this deal is an improvement for Hong Kong, which aims to use it to boost tourism. The success of the project depends partly on how it is carried out by Walt Disney, and whether a further park is planned for mainland China.
