The world-famous Disney company is once again drawing global attention with its next major project. Now the famous 'Disneyland' will be built for the first time in the Middle East, with the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, chosen as its location. This was reported by Disney's press service.
According to Disney representatives, the new theme park will be built on Yas Island, a popular tourist destination in Abu Dhabi. Currently, all details related to the project are kept secret, but it has been announced that the construction of the park will take approximately two years, and it will take six years to fully complete it.
"The 'Disneyland' in Abu Dhabi will create a true Disney environment while also reflecting the unique national characteristics of this region. It will become a unique entertainment oasis for Disney in the UAE, one of the world's centers," said Robert Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company.
It is noted that the choice of the UAE for the construction of the new 'Disneyland' is not without reason. The country has the largest aviation hub in the world, which is contributing to an increasing flow of tourists to the UAE. For one-third of the world's population, an average of four hours is enough to travel to the UAE, making this country a very convenient and promising destination from a tourism perspective.
This project by Disney is expected to create a significant turning point in the tourism sector not only for the United Arab Emirates but also for the entire Middle East region. The opening of 'Disneyland', one of the largest and most famous entertainment venues in the world, will further enhance the country's tourism potential and contribute to its inclusion among globally renowned tourist destinations.
Currently, there are a total of six 'Disneylands' around the world. They are located in California and Florida in the USA, Urayasu near Tokyo in Japan, as well as in cities like Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Paris. The new park being built in the UAE will enter history as the seventh 'Disneyland' and will hold significant economic and cultural importance for the region.
By implementing this project, Disney will not only strengthen its global position but also make a significant contribution to the development of family tourism in the region. As a result, millions of tourists will visit Abu Dhabi every year, opening new opportunities for the country's economy.
Disney's new mega-project will be a significant event that will lay the groundwork for the UAE to become one of the major global tourism centers in the future.
