10:00 AM EXECUTIVE THINK TANK: DESTINATION EXPERIENCES: Moving away from stand alone attractions through the creation of all inclusive destinations to attract millions of visitors a year

Over 40 million annual guests go through the gates at Walt Disney Resort per year. Why? Because theme parks and waterparks are no longer a stand alone attraction, they are an experience and a destination in their own right. This exclusive panel discussion will discuss how to unite stand alone attractions under one brand that captures the mind of families all over the world.
Key Question: What are the key considerations to developing a world class mega entertainment resort in the Middle East

In this session, we will examine:

  • Understanding why hotels are a key component of the World’s leading theme park complexes such as Walt Disney World
  • Partnering with airlines, retail outlets and restaurants to create an all inclusive experience
  • Uncovering how to drive visitor attraction by offering a diverse range of entertainment options that ensures they never want to leave the resort
  • Unifying and aligning brands and experience to magical heights
