188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino It’s worth noting，Fantawild Group’s growth rate is amazing，Mainly due to the company’s effective asset-light expansion model，The local government invests in and owns the park，Fangte provides brand and operation management services，In this mode，The profit dynamics are very different from before，Many tickets at discounted prices，Even sold for free，Focus on serving group tourists。As understood，Fangte currently operates 35 theme parks，Including Xuzhou Fantawild Park opened last year。

Although the top five tourists are competing，Universal Studios Japan and Tokyo Disneyland still have the upper hand，Standing in the top five for many years，But judging from the growth rate of tourists last year，Compared with the three major domestic paradises，Basically around 20% VS over 100%，Believe in Shanghai Disney、It is only a matter of time before Universal Studios Beijing and Chimelong Ocean Kingdom surpass the three giants of Japanese theme parks。

Although judging from the number of tourists，The growth and recovery of China’s theme parks is unstoppable，But it’s similar to the problem of “prosperity but not wealth” in domestic holiday travel，Such a high flow of people may not translate into corresponding revenue growth，Under the influence of uncertain factors in the domestic economy，Per capita consumption in the park decreased，Public consumer confidence still needs to be further boosted。

On the other hand，Top 20 theme parks in North America have slow growth in attendance，Total number of tourists is 1.4.5 billion people，Only 3% increase from 2022，But it is similar to the first few quarters after the epidemic was released，Per capita consumption of many theme parks in North America has been growing steadily，United Parks and Resorts (SeaWorld) has set new highs in per capita consumption 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino for six consecutive quarters，This also explains，Many theme parks in North America，Although the number of tourists is growing slowly，Even negative growth，But overall income can also be increased by increasing per capita consumption。

More specifically，To improve tourist experience as the starting point，Translate high-quality services and experiences into more consumption，The increase in per capita consumption mainly comes from catering，Most parks not only provide catering services at various prices，Also provides healthy meals for tourists、Dine-in、Fast food、Various dining options including food festivals。Although per capita consumption is also related to regional inflation，After all, operating costs and product prices are increasing，But in this context，The reason why North American theme parks perform well is that per capita consumption levels are increasing，People’s consumption frequency is also increasing。

Europe、The situation in the Middle East and Africa is similar to that in North America，Continuous investment brings steady growth，The entire EMEA region had 66.2 million tourists last year，5% year-on-year growth，Warner Bros. Movie World Abu Dhabi in the Middle East was shortlisted for the first time，Ranked 17th with 1.75 million visitors。SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, which opened in May last year, also performed well，The number of tourists reached 1.3 million in 7 months after opening，If we can maintain this growth momentum，Next year’s regional TOP20 list is just around the corner。
