Disney world By: Jeffery Zak Trevor Simpson Hannah D'Amico and Julia Peirolo
History of Disney Walt Disney, founder of company • http://www.youtube.com/v/_6Kesbfg-Ok?rel=0&hl=en_US&fs=1&M86AC-3ebb72053e0690da3a1e7f55a88d136b
Countries that We Considered • Japan – • China – • Taiwan-
Questions to consider for each country • Climate/Weather- Is there good or bad weather?Are there a lot of natural disasters?Culture/Lifestyle- What type of activities do people do for fun?how do people spend their money?Economy- How is the economy?Can people afford to go to the theme park?Population- Is there room for a theme park?is the population rural or urban?Competition- How many major parks are nearby?Are there any other amusement companies around?
China Cont. • China has the largest population in the world • There is already a Disney World in China • overcrowded with amusement parks • Large cities have also created great pollution Beijing China China’s competition
China Cont. • China’s government is communist • many still follow Chinese beliefs and resent America • The communist government can be oppressive and give people very little time for fun Overworked and under paid citizens Communist government
Taiwan • Taiwan is a very small island with extreme over population • The economy is 17thin the world with low wages • much poverty and disease Overcrowding of Taiwan
Taiwan • Even though there are not many major theme parks, only a few people have money for things like Theme Parks • No real target market • Natural disasters could potentially destroy the theme park
Disney World Japan • The climate of Japan in the southern region is usually warm tropical weather • Japan sometime receives earthquakes and tsunamis • If Disney is located inland these disasters are not a concern
Disney World Japan • Japan has greatly embraced western ideas • The Japanese like the idea of amusement parks and rides and greatly embrace companies like Disney World • The Japanese amusement parks have been very popular Japanese Amusement parks
Japan Cont. • Japan has the third largest economy in the world • Many people will be able to afford going to the amusement park with a GDP close to America’s • unemployment rate is at 9.1% which means their will be no shortage of labor for the park
Disney World Japan • Disney could attract a very large target market in Japanese cities • to compete with other theme Parks it would also be smart to make the theme park full of arcades and slower rides for the large elderly population http://cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/world/2012/02/08/lah-japan-elderly-gamers.cnn.html
Cultural Consideration • Japan has a vastly different language • Japan is a much more urban country
Cultural Consideration • the Japanese tend to eat much more seafood and rice than in America
