What is the reason for the decrease in the number of Disney tourists?

According to the latest report on global theme parks released by the third-party research institute, in 20 16 years, among the four Disney theme parks in the world, 13 showed a downward trend, and the passenger flow of the two major Disney parks in France and Hong Kong declined more than 10%. The only one that survived was Shanghai Disneyland, which just opened and has no reference figures.

However, the decrease in the number of people entering the park did not affect Disney's performance. Due to the opening of Shanghai Disneyland and the strong per capita consumption of Disneyland in the United States, the revenue of Disney theme parks increased by 5% in fiscal year 20 16, reaching 169 billion US dollars.

According to the report, the decrease of tourists in Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland was affected by the external economic situation. The passenger flow of Paris Disneyland and Disney Studios decreased by 14% and 1.6% respectively, which was mainly related to the impact of terrorism on European tourism.

The number of visitors to Hong Kong Disneyland has also continued to decline, from 6.8 million in fiscal year 20 15 to 6 10/00000, and the decline has also expanded from 9.3% to 10.3%. In fact, due to the decrease of mainland tourists, Asia's second Disneyland has recorded losses for two consecutive years, and the losses are getting bigger and bigger.

However, it is worth noting that in these places, Universal Studios, Disney's biggest competitor, obviously attracts more tourists. Among them, the passenger flow of Universal Studios Hollywood increased by 14% year-on-year.

This phenomenon is not only in the United States. While the two parks in Tokyo Disneyland are facing a decline in the number of tourists, Universal Studios Osaka also attracts more business with the help of IP such as Harry Potter, Attack Giant and One Piece.
