Magic results: Euro Disney plans new hotels
By Christian Sylt
Sunday, 17 August 2008S
Euro Disney's Paris theme park is on track to set a record for
visitors this year and may see more guests than its US counterparts.
The park is set to beat last year's 14.5 million guests and business
is so good that new hotels are being planned, said its chief financial
officer, Ignace Lahoud. The existing seven hotels had occupancy rates
of 89.3 per cent last year, up again this year. Disneyland Paris is
now Europe's most popular attraction, with more visitors than the
Eiffel Tower and the Louvre combined.
