Hong Kong Disneyland marks Earth Month with new sustainability measures
For this year’s commemoration of Earth Month throughout April, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL) highlights its continued environmental initiatives aimed at promoting sustainability. HKDL remains committed to adopting renewable energy and recently took innovative steps to convert a vintage amusement ride to electric power, installed Hong Kong's first and largest car park solar canopy, and adopted AI technology to achieve energy savings. The resort will continue to expand its solar power generation system to World of Frozen, further enhancing its sustainability efforts. These initiatives, validated by industry accolades, underscore HKDL's as a leader toward creating a better future. HKDL senior vice-president for operations Tim Sypko said: "HKDL's magic has positively impacted Hong Kong's tourism, economy and community over the past 20 years. As a socially responsible business, we have been doing good while growing our business. This includes taking meaningful and measurable actions to support a healthier planet." Main Street goes electric The resort is committed to taking meaningful and measurable actions to create a sustainable future. Through a blend of innovation and nostalgia to utilize clean energy for amusement taxi rides. The resort's facility services team has converted the Main Street Taxi, a beloved feature of Main Street USA, to electric power by replacing its existing gasoline engine and hydraulic transmission system. This innovative step prevents waste by modifying the resort's existing vehicles. The electricity-powered Main Street Taxi retains its vintage appearance which is a nod to the elongated horseless carriages of the early 1900s. An onboard audio system has been added to simulate the sound of a gas engine. This elevates the nostalgic ride experience for guests, with improved air quality. Introducing Hong Kong’s first-ever car park with a solar power canopy HKDL also marked a milestone in its journey toward clean energy adoption this year. The resort proudly unveiled Hong Kong's first and largest car park solar canopy in the cast members' car park, featuring nearly 200 bi-facial solar panels and providing shelter for 40 parking spaces in the first phase. The project is being executed in two phases. Upon completion of the second phase, the number of bi-facial solar panels will double to nearly 400, providing shelter for 80 parking spaces. This system is expected to generate over 200,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually. In addition, HKDL also set up an AI Digital Twin model for the district cooling air-conditioning systems, utilizing AI analytics to predict the resort's cooling load and simulate operations virtually via the digital twin. This AI technology optimizes the performance of water-cooled district cooling air-conditioning systems, not only creating a comfortable journey for guests but also reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Hong Kong Disneyland in the red as visitor numbers fall
Visitor numbers slumped 10% in 2016 Hong Kong Disneyland fell to another loss in 2016, as visitor numbers declined in the wake of the opening of mainland China’s first Disney theme park. The full-year net loss of HK$171 million (US$22m) reflected declining revenues, which fell from HK$5.1 billion to HK$4.8bn, in line with a 10% slump in visitor numbers, from 6.8m to 6.1m. The park's management called market conditions in 2016 "challenging", and this is likely to continue in 2017. Visitors from mainland China comprised more than a third (36%) of total arrivals in 2016, and the opening of Shanghai Disneyland last summer will provide stiff competition for the mainland market. Shanghai Disneyland expected to welcome up to 10m visitors in its first full year of operations. Despite this, Hong Kong Disneyland continues to expand. The new Iron Man Experience launched earlier this year and the park's third hotel, Disney Explorer's Lodge, will open its doors in April.
