Download or read book What Factors Influence Entertainment Theme Park Development written by Johnny Ch LOK and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ⦁ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND THE DEMAND FOR LEISUREEntertainment theme park is one kind of entertainment service industry, entertainment consumers can choose any kinds of entertainment service to satisfy their need, So, theme park service need will be influenced by other different kinds of entertainment service competition, because entertainment consumers will need to spend money and time to choose any kinds of entertainment service. Leisure time has been a determining factor in the development of recreation and entertainment as an industry. Entertainment has grown as an industry in step with increased income and time available for leisure and recreation. Economic development, often quantified in terms of productivity or output per person-hour, has enabled goods and services to be produced with fewer labor inputs. The growth of the entertainment industries has been directly related to the development of a modern economy and rising economic productivity, though precise estimation of the demand for leisure is a thorny task (Owen 1971). An important issue in the development of entertainment as an industry is the rising productivity of workers, and in particular the ways in which technical progress has increased worker productivity. Progress in technology, in addition to creating the demand for entertainment products and services, has also led to the creation of much of the dominant forms of contemporary entertainment.⦁ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY OVERVIEWSubstantial production in the creative industries takes place within the U.S. economy and creative products are a major U.S. export. Motion pictures, home video and television programming, music and sound recordings, books, video games, and software are collectively one of the largest and fastest-growing economic sectors, responsible for about 6 percent of total U.S. gross domestic product per annum (Motion Picture Association of America 2006a). Multinational entertainment/media conglomerates such as Vivendi, Sony, and AOL/Time Warner are increasingly becoming dominant in this sector, with operations that permit substantial economies across the line of entertainment products. The process often begins with a literary work of fiction, which is then made into a movie exhibited in cinemas and later on syndicated and network television domestically and abroad, and finally released on home video. Characters and other elements from the movie can be developed into a line of toys cross-promoted with fast food, and further developed into a video game or board game, and perhaps even featured in a line of clothing. Because entertainment theme park is one kind of enertainment service, so any different kinds of entertainment, such as travel or cinema industry will can influence theme park visitors need. If many people feel there are many good movies to watch, then they will choose to spend much time to go to cinemas to watch movies or many people feel air ticket price is low, so they will choose to go to anywhere to travel. When many people choose watching movies or travelling activites, then these entertainment activities will influence theme park visitors choose to visit any theme parks. Then, theme park visitors number will also reduce.
