hong Kong Disneyland holds a special
7:40
place in our city's rich collection of
7:43
tourist attractions
7:46
it is a landmark destination
7:48
essential to our reputation as a
7:51
worldass travel hub but in today's fast
7:55
changing world maintaining that status
7:59
means we must always stay ahead
8:03
innovating and reinventing
8:08
in order to meet the changing paces and
8:10
expectations of visitors from around the
8:13
globe to keep strengthening the appeal
8:17
of Disneyland we look beyond the
8:20
resource case more collaboration more
8:24
diverse offerings and more creative
8:26
partnerships with communities and
8:29
businesses to create a more immersive
8:33
and enriched experience for visitors
8:37
the same thinking applies to tourism
8:40
sector at large food events cultural and
8:44
sports activities and new attractions we
8:47
are confident that tourist arrivals will
8:50
continue to rise
8:53
but turning numbers into lasting
8:56
economic impact require innovations in
9:00
our offering and if there is one thing
9:04
that Disneyland has taught us over the
9:06
year it is that imagination is the key
9:11
it is what fuels the magic behind every
9:15
story every life every smile i have no
9:19
doubt that with the honest creativity
9:22
and forwardthinking vision we will
9:25
continue to see Hong Kong Disneyland

spark with even more Disney magic
