Disneyland plan 'would spur growth'Listen to this articleA proposed Disneyland in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) will attract 10 million additional visitors annually and generate more than 150 billion baht in revenue, said Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn. He said the message reflects how the discussion of the "Disneyland Thailand" concept has entered the realm of economic diplomacy. The plan envisions a large-scale entertainment and lifestyle hub that combines a theme park, a concert hall, and an 80,000-seat international-standard stadium. These would attract global events, including concerts by world-class artists and international sporting competitions, encouraging repeated visits. Addressing concerns about "grey" businesses, the minister stressed the project would involve no casinos or ambiguous activities.
