中國主題公園建設呈現蓬勃發展勢頭
Shanghai Disneyland, Beijing Universal Theme Park, Zhejiang Hello Kitty Park, Dalian Discoveryland Kingdom - the list goes on. Theme parks are becoming big business in China.
上海迪士尼樂園，北京環球主題公園，浙江凱蒂貓公園，大連發現王國，這樣的例子數不勝數。主題公園正在成爲在中國的一項大生意。China's Wanda Group is reportedly planning to build its 11th "Cultural Tourism City" in Guilin, in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The Carnival Group is also planning to build ten more theme parks in China's first and second tiered cities by 2020. And the Haichang Group also says it plans to open four theme parks in the following five years.
據報道，中國萬達集團正在計劃在廣西壯族自治區籌建第十一個“文化旅遊城”。此外，嘉年華集團也正在打算在2020年之前，在中國一、二線城市建設十多個主題公園。海昌集團也表示，計劃在未來五年開放四個主題公園。In 2015, 21 theme parks opened to the public and another 20 are under construction.
2015年，21個主題公園向公衆開放，另有20個仍在建設中。
China now has nearly 300 theme parks nationwide. US-based consultant company Aecom predicted that China will replace America to become the largest theme park market by 2020, witnessing 221 million visits annually, twice as much as that in 2015.
目前，中國在全國已有近300個主題公園。總部位於美國的諮詢公司Aecom預測，到2020年，中國將取代美國成爲最大的主題公園市場，每年遊客人數將達到2.21億，是2015年的兩倍。Part if the reason for their increasing popularity, according to Su Lishan, tourism analyst at China Securities, has been the economic slowdown and the devaluation of the Chinese currency. More and more people are opting for so called 'Stay-cations' or domestic tourism instead of traveling abroad.
據中國證券旅遊業分析師蘇麗珊表示，主題公園越來越受歡迎的部分原因是已經下滑的經濟和中國貨幣貶值。越來越多的人正在選擇所謂的“居家旅遊”或者國內遊，而不是出國旅行。Meng Cai, Executive Director of Carnival Group International Holdings Limited, adds modern recreation centers for family visits are still in short supply in many cities, so the potential for the growth of large theme parks in China is still enormous.
嘉年華集團國際控股有限公司執行董事孟才補充道，目前很多城市的家庭現代休閒中心仍然供應不足，所以中國大型主題公園的增長潛力仍然巨大。But the prospects are not universally good. 70 percent of theme parks in China are suffering economic losses, 20 percent break even, while only 10 percent are able to make a profit.
但這一前景並不是普遍都很好。中國70%的主題公園都飽受經濟下滑的折磨，20%甚至破產，只有10%盈利。
