Shanghai Disneyland is gearing up for its grand opening on June 16th. How prepared is the Magic Kingdom and how will the local government cope with the tourist influx?
The Shanghai municipal government has an ambitious goal to build a modern tourism hub that could be an example for future projects of China’s booming tourism market. They will launch an International Tourism and Resort Zone, with the Shanghai Disneyland at the core.
Officials say they’ve conducted trial runs to test the theme park before it opens in less than a month.
But they still find more than 100 areas could be improved.
They cover transportation, safety management, and operation, as well as how to better cope with great tourist traffic and emergencies.
A 24-hour emergency response team will be standing by daily for the very first Disneyland on the Chinese Mainland.
