More theme parks will be constructed in China in the coming years, the country’s National Tourism Administration (CNTA) said on Sunday.
A CNTA spokesperson told Xinhua that, as part of the country’s 13th five-year plan, which runs from 2016 to 2020, China will encourage the development of theme parks that incorporate theatres, performance venues and other recreational facilities.
More international branded theme parks will be introduced into China, while domestic theme parks will be encouraged to expand overseas, the CNTA added.
An indoor fantasy-themed attraction opened to the public last weekend in northern China’s Shanxi province, featuring laser technology and 3D effects. And one of the biggest Chinese theme park projects in the pipeline, Universal Studios Beijing, is expected to open in 2020.
