Asia was expected to become the new theme park capital of the world—then the pandemic hit. IAAPA Asia drew 7,000+ attendees to Shanghai, but is that enough to signal Asia's tourism comeback? Philip reports from the show floor, including takeaways from Disney executive Jill Estorino's keynote, where she credited young adult women with shaping the guest culture at Shanghai Disneyland—impacting everything from merchandise and mobile content creation to how F&B is presented across the park. Meanwhile, Legoland Shanghai, including its eight themed lands, 85 million bricks, and resort-wide creative choices, has set a new quality bar for IP-driven family parks in the region. With the Chinese park market projected to nearly double by 2028, we ask: Is the APAC surge real—and what lessons should operators everywhere take from Shanghai's blend of detail, service, and social-savvy design?

Legoland Shanghai Resort, the city's newest theme park and the world's largest Legoland park, has significantly driven up bookings at nearby hotels and boosted consumption growth in surrounding areas after its opening on Saturday.上海乐高乐园度假区是上海最新的主题公园,也是全球最大的乐高乐园。自周六开园以来,它极大地带动了周边酒店的预订量,并促进了周边地区的消费增长。So far this summer, 70 percent of hotel bookings in the city's Jinshan district — where the resort is located — were made by travelers from other regions of the country, while bookings made by locals accounted for more than 50 percent last year, said Qunar, a Beijing-based online travel agency.总部位于北京的在线旅行社去哪儿网表示,今年夏天到目前为止,该度假区所在的上海金山区,70% 的酒店预订来自全国其他地区的游客,而去年本地游客的预订占比超过 50%。Travelers who booked hotel rooms near Legoland mainly came from Shanghai; Beijing; Qingdao, Shandong province; Chengdu, Sichuan province; and Nanjing, Jiangsu province, Qunar said. Many hotels near the theme park said they offer complimentary shuttle services and luggage storage services for holidaymakers.去哪儿网称,预订乐高乐园附近酒店客房的游客主要来自上海、北京、山东青岛、四川成都和江苏南京。乐园附近的许多酒店表示,它们为游客提供免费的班车服务和行李寄存服务。"Summer has been the peak season for travelers going to theme parks, and the popularity of theme parks is expected to have an even more prominent impact on boosting consumption growth of surrounding hotels, restaurants and other amenities," said Chen Xiaoshuang, a researcher at Qunar.去哪儿网研究员陈晓双表示:“夏季一直是主题公园旅游的旺季,主题公园的热度预计将对带动周边酒店、餐饮及其他配套设施的消费增长产生更为显著的影响。”Nationwide, booking volumes for admission tickets at domestic theme parks so far this summer jumped 70 percent on a yearly basis, according to the online travel agency.据该在线旅行社称,今年夏天到目前为止,全国范围内国内主题公园的门票预订量同比增长了 70%。Besides Legoland, theme parks — especially those with popular brand cachets — have been the driving engines of surrounding economies. For instance, bookings of hotels and bed-and-breakfasts near Universal Studios Beijing and Shanghai Disneyland jumped nearly 40 percent over last summer, Qunar said.去哪儿网表示,除了乐高乐园,主题公园 —— 尤其是那些拥有热门品牌影响力的主题公园 —— 一直是周边经济的驱动引擎。例如,北京环球度假区和上海迪士尼乐园附近的酒店及民宿预订量较去年夏天增长了近 40%。"A theme park can bring more fashionable and modern elements to an ancient city and add new vitality," said Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy.中国旅游研究院院长戴斌表示:“一座主题公园能够为古城带来更多时尚现代元素,注入新的活力。”Zhongmu county in Zhengzhou, Henan province, was originally known for its abundance of crops such as watermelon and garlic. Now it is home to eight theme parks, including Zhengzhou Haichang Ocean Park and Zhengzhou Fantawild Adventure. So far this summer, hotel booking volumes in Zhongmu surged 50-fold over the same period of 2019, Qunar added.河南省郑州市中牟县原本以盛产西瓜、大蒜等农作物闻名。如今,这里拥有 8 个主题公园,包括郑州海昌海洋公园和郑州方特欢乐世界。去哪儿网补充说,今年夏天到目前为止,中牟县的酒店预订量较 2019 年同期激增了 50 倍。The Zhongmu government said the county would like to further stimulate its vitality based on the popularity of tourism. By 2026, the county plans to build a comprehensive modern industrial system that includes cultural and creative tourism, advanced manufacturing and modern biopharmaceuticals.中牟县政府表示,将依托旅游业的热度进一步激发县域活力。到 2026 年,该县计划构建包含文化创意旅游、高端制造和现代生物医药在内的综合性现代产业体系。"If a theme park generates revenues of 1 yuan (14 cents), it can drive a city's income by 3.8 yuan, thus propelling the incomes of upstream and downstream industries by 6-15 yuan. In addition to its own income, a theme park can make significant contributions to a city," said Lin Huanjie, director of the Institute for Theme Park Studies in China.中国主题公园研究院院长林焕杰表示:“主题公园每产生 1 元收入,就能带动城市收入 3.8 元,进而拉动上下游产业收入 6 至 15 元。除了自身收入外,主题公园还能为城市做出重大贡献。”boom /buːm/ 繁荣,激增surge /sɜːdʒ/ 急剧上升,猛增cachet /ˈkæʃeɪ/ 威望,声誉vitality /vaɪˈtæləti/ 活力,生命力

Shanghai Disney Resort unveiled new smoking control measures on Monday during an outdoor smoking control roundtable, aimed at enhancing visitor experience and park operations.上海迪士尼度假区在周一举办的户外控烟圆桌会议上宣布了新的控烟举措,要全面提升游客体验与园区运营水平。The new measures, taking effect on May 29 ahead of World No Tobacco Day on May 31 and International Children's Day on June 1, include reducing designated smoking areas, upgrading no-smoking signage, and implementing a reminder card system.新措施将于5月29日生效,恰逢5月31日世界无烟日和6月1日国际儿童节前夕,具体措施包括缩减指定的吸烟区、升级禁烟标识以及推行提醒卡制度。Following a comprehensive review and assessment of existing smoking points, the resort will eliminate 24 smoking areas, cutting the total number by about half. Shanghai Disneyland will have 11 designated smoking areas.经过对现有吸烟点的全面审查与评估,园区将取消24处吸烟区,使总数减少约一半。调整后,上海迪士尼乐园将保留11处指定吸烟区。The adjustments focus on high-traffic zones where non-smoking visitors previously reported unavoidable exposure to smoke, and heavily congested secondary pathways. Several smoking points, including those near the main park entrance, will be relocated to optimize guest flow.此次调整重点关注游客流量密集区域——此前非吸烟游客曾反馈这些区域存在不可避免的二手烟暴露问题——以及拥堵严重的次要通道。部分吸烟点(包括主入口附近的吸烟区)将被重新规划,以优化客流。The resort's guest rules and regulations strictly prohibit smoking throughout the park except in designated areas, covering traditional tobacco products, e-cigarettes, and any other products that produce vapor or smoke.根据园区游客规则和规定,除指定吸烟区外,乐园内严格禁止吸食传统烟草制品、电子烟及其他任何产生烟雾或蒸汽的产品。The resort will implement a comprehensive update of its smoking-related signage. More than 2,800 "No Smoking" signs will be installed throughout the resort, including Shanghai Disneyland, Disneytown, Wishing Star Park, Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and Toy Story Hotel. The signs will feature both traditional and e-cigarette symbols and will be themed to match different areas of the resort.该度假区将对全园所有吸烟相关标识进行全面更新升级。整个度假区范围内将安装超过2800个“禁止吸烟”标识牌,覆盖上海迪士尼乐园、迪士尼小镇、星愿公园、上海迪士尼乐园酒店及玩具总动员酒店等区域。新标识将同时包含传统香烟和电子烟图示,并根据不同园区主题进行差异化设计。Staff training on smoking control will be intensified, with cast members receiving updated instruction on second-hand smoke risks, intervention methods, and current government policies. They will be equipped with bilingual reminder cards featuring QR codes directing visitors to the nearest designated smoking areas.在控烟管理方面,乐园将加强员工培训力度。所有演职人员将接受关于二手烟危害、劝阻技巧及现行政策法规的最新课程。工作人员将配备双语提示卡,卡片印有二维码可实时引导游客前往最近的指定吸烟区。As part of the resort's "Star Guest" program promoting civilized behavior, the resort has installed posters featuring Chief Bogo from Zootopia throughout the property, reminding guests to respect others by smoking only in designated areas.作为度假村“明星宾客”文明倡导计划的一部分,我们已在园区各处设置了《疯狂动物城》牛局长主题提示海报,通过这位深受喜爱的动画角色提醒游客文明游览,仅在指定吸烟区使用烟草制品。Updated smoking area information will be accessible through the resort's official platforms including its website and app. Visitors are advised to familiarize themselves with and follow the rules and regulations before visiting.更新后的吸烟区导览信息将通过度假村官网、官方APP等数字平台同步发布。敬请广大游客在到访前通过官方渠道了解相关规定,提前熟悉并自觉遵守园区行为准则。no-smoking signage禁烟标志e-cigarettes电子烟vapor/ˈveɪpə(r)/n.水汽;水蒸气QR codes二维码cast members演员;演员阵容

"Create memories where you couldn't have ever planned it" is the perfect quote from Helen J. Shen (Maybe Happy Ending), this episode's guest on 'E-Ticket to Broadway.' On this episode Helen shares their deep love of Baymax (who in plushie-form lives with Helen) and how Disney impacted her childhood--from watching the Disney movies as a kid (big fan of "The Lion King") to going to Walt Disney World and the Disney Cruise Line, Helen understands the gateway of Disney to Musical Theatre--specifically their reaction to "The Festival of the Lion King." Listen as Helen professors her excitement for Animal Kingdom--from the attractions like "Flight of Passage" and the "Kilimanjaro Safaris," to the "Tree of Life," to the food (Helen has been deemed "The Head of Sitting & Eating"), the way in which Helen shares her love is as good as any Disney commercial. Did we mention Helen's love of the food of the Disney Parks? Beignets, & Dole Whips, & Pickles...oh my! Helen's love of Shanghai Disneyland's "Pirates of the Carribean" and her soft spot for Carousel of Progress is also discussed, with some questions from the listeners, including which characters Helen is most excited to meet at the Disney Parks. Which attraction does Helen refuse to ride at Walt Disney World? Listen to find out!
