Shanghai Disney Resort is a top cultural tourism destination, report says

"Since the day it all began at Shanghai Disney Resort, we have been dedicated to creating a place where the magic of Disney blends with the profound beauty of Chinese culture, resonating with guests and fans from near and far," Andrew Bolstein, president and general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort, said.

The resort functions as a significant economic engine, directly employing about 15,000 cast members, with each direct job estimated to support six to seven additional jobs across related industries. Its community impact extends to hospital play spaces, wish-granting programs for critically ill children, and comprehensive accessibility services, according to the report.

"As Shanghai Disney Resort marks its tenth anniversary this year, this study provides a record of a significant journey in cross-cultural collaboration," Pan Feng, council member at China center for international economic exchanges and president of Europe-China economic cooperation and development council, said.
