Because of the threat of terrorist attacks, the Europeans are not going to Disneyland

Из-за угрозы терактов европейцы не идут в "Диснейленд"

The fear to suffer during the attack forced many Europeans to give up visiting earlier popular vacation spots. So, according to the newspaper Le Figaro, in Paris’s amusement Park “Disneyland” in the second quarter of this year has been 11 percent less people.

In this context, its turnover fell by 13 percent to 182 million euros, which is an absolute record in recent years. Also decreased the revenues of the hotels, shops, restaurants and cinemas, providing the related entertainment. However, among the reasons for economic decline are also referred to as strikes and bad weather conditions.

Despite financial losses, the administration has decided to significantly increase spending on security. The amount is not disclosed. The management of the Park hopes that further measures will bring the number of visitors to the previous level.

But this will not happen as quickly as we would like. In France continues to operate the state of emergency imposed after the attacks on 13 November 2015. In this regard, all reports of suspicious items are carefully checked. So, on the eve of the visitors to Disneyland were evacuated after the discovery of orphan convolution at the local train station.

The first Park “Disneyland” appeared in 1955 in the American city of Anaheim. Branch in Europe was opened in 1992. Annually it is visited by 12.5 million people.
