Just an observation.

I've been to Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Osaka.

Ordinary entrance fee is JPY6,000.

If you work in a factory here (Japanese or not), you may earn a minimum of around JPY150,000 if you work 8 hours a day. This is based on my friend's information (I'm a student). This is just a minimum for a full-time job without overtime.

So you see, these people can afford to go to these parks on a regular basis if they want to even for those who are not rich by Japanese standards.

Fo the Philippines, my question is how can a Disneyland financially sustain its operation in the Philippines given the socio-economic status of most of the Filipinos?

How much would be the entrance fee?

How many Pinoys will actually go there on a regular basis?

Will there be enough foreign tourists who will visit it considering there is a similar theme park in a nearby Hong Kong?

Mismo!!

For this to work, the local market should at least be able to cover for some % of market to be able to break even... the local economy should be able to able to afford the park... meaning locals pa lang, the best is break even na agad... now.. does the local Pinoys expect to get preferred rates? perhaps yes.. but to a point na tipong 200 pesos lang (parang nanood lang ng sine) and yet ride all you can na? I doubt.. how much na ba entrance now ng Enchanted Kingdom? I heard lubog sa utang to... di rin ugali ng tao Pinoy ang theme park all year round.. mostly magpapasko din lang.. so how do you expect the local economy to help Disneyland to break even... kung aasa na sa foreign tourists.. yan you have to compete na with HK, Shanghai, Tokyo.... then all the other factors as a tourist destination comes in - airport, roads, hotels, transportation, etc..
