This holiday resort island can be reached by air, land or sea. The attraction that I felt was fun and interesting was the 3D cineblast and 4D magix. Sentosa 3D Cineblast presents a thrilling 4-dimensional motion-simulated ride. It also combines the virtual ‘roller coaster’ rides with high-definition wide-screen projection. As for the 4D Magix, it presents an interactive movie experience with 4-dimensional digital effects. This multi-million Sentosa 4D Magix Theatre is the first in Southeast Asia. Using a state-of-the-art digital projection system, movies come to life right off the big screen. Subsequently, these attractions were located in the vicinity of our place of stay. These are the reasons as to why we chose these two attractions to compare between with for our assignment. In this assignment, we are required to come out with a questionnaire to collect...

Its diverse business portfolio and its strong liquidity position place it at an edge over its peers. Genting's weak operational performance and declining returns could be of concern. The company's growth could be restricted by factors such as competition and economic situation in UK. However, the company could stand to gain from RWS, its resort project in Sentosa (Singapore). Strengths Strong liquidity position The company's current ratio was 4.82 at the end of fiscal year 2009. This was above the S&P 500 companies average* of 1.46. A higher than S&P 500 companies average* current ratio indicates that the company is in a strong financial position and is more capable of meeting its short term obligations than other companies in the S&P 500 index.

As soon as I heard this quote during my tradition class, I tried to keep it in mind during my whole program without even imagining that I will probably remember it for the rest of my life. As part of our program at INSEEC Bordeaux, we needed to find a foreign company to work for during the summer break in order to live a new experience and arouse our pretty small resume. We were asked to learn both human and professional skills during this period. 1.1 What is the Walt Disney World International College Program? The international College Program is a summer work program based on the availability of foreign college students due to their summer vacations. This program last three months and is reserved for non-American students enrolled in a three to four year college program.

...WGU Class LAE1 A family dream vacation with children of any age, especially young children, should include time spent at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. While searching for a hotel at the Disney World Resort, the Bay Lake Tower looked particularly appealing. It is characterized as a balance of modern and luxurious experience with warm and innovative features (WDW, 2012). Bay Lake Tower is very close to the Magic Kingdom, which is a wonderful theme park for younger children to experience during several days of a family vacation. The Tower is connected by an elevated walkway to the Contemporary Resort, and there is a special monorail that goes to the park, and stops only at two other hotels. It is more convenient to stay closer to the park where you are planning to go more often, especially when traveling with younger children. After researching the many resorts at Disney World, the Bay Lake Tower appeared to be the best choice for these and many other reasons. The first reason Bay Lake Tower is a perfect choice for a dream vacation is due to the many amenities each room possesses (Tripadvisor, 2012). More specifically, amenities at Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort include: air conditioning in public areas, barber, 1-hour room service, laundry facilities and services, services for people with disabilities, an outdoor heated swimming pool with multiple slides, a children's splash pad, sunbeds, in-room safe and massage services at the spa.

The Walt Disney Company (Disney) does not report financial performance results specific to Magic Kingdom Park. However, according to Disney’s 2009 annual report, 2009 revenues for the Parks and Resorts affiliate were reported at $10.7 billion, which was down $800 million from 2008, but up slightly from 2007. Operating income on the $10.7 billion in revenue for 2009 was $1.4 billion. According to the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA), the Magic Kingdom drew an estimated 17.2 million visitors in 2009. And, Disney held nine of the top ten in attendance for theme parks worldwide. In terms of industry size, comparisons specific to WDW or Magic kingdom Park are difficult to grasp. Walt Disney World Florida, which encompasses 47 square miles, is the largest amusement park in the world. The International Association of Amusement parks and Attractions, for example, reports approximately 400 parks and attractions in the United States alone and in 2008, amusement parks in the United States entertained 300 million visitors who safely enjoyed more that 1.7 billion “rides.” In terms of industry...

...INTRODUCTION OF COMPANY Disney land is an American theme park in California owned and operated by the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts division of The Walt Disney Company. It opened on July 17, 1955 in ceremonies led by Walt Disney. The company was initially a jointly owned venture by Walt Disney Productions, Western Publishing, Walt Disney and the American Broadcasting Company to manage and built the Disneyland theme park. As a provision for the joint ownership, Walt Disney Productions had the option to repurchase the share within 7 years. In 1960, Walt Disney Productions completed the repurchase of all the share of the company and the theme park became a fully owned part of Walt Disney Productions. Currently the park has been visited by more than 515 million guests since it opened, including presidents, royalty and other heads of state. In 1998, the theme park was re-branded Disneyland Park to distinguish it from the larger Disneyland Resort complex. It’s a great Theme Park for all families. They can meet all their favorite characters there including all the princesses, villains, dwarfs, Mickey Mouse, other Disney characters and can enjoy lots of rides. How Disneyland differentiated from other places was that it had 'Walt Disney', the brain that totally changed the lives of people by adding magic to their lives. Walt Disney summarized his creativity in one word: Imagineering. The term “Imagineering” combines the words imagination and engineering. Imagineering enabled him...

...landscapes are developed to distill a glimpse of world /out of this world locations, not unlike a world's fair, at a single location. These entertainment complexes are familiar vacation territories for generations of the world's travel public, as theme parks are deliberately designed to be internationally-focused attractants. The successful dynamism of these landscapes designed for appeal and dependable itinerary offer assurances of what can be expected, with safety and value for the expense of time and money. Generally, themed landscapes perpetuate and promote folk history and cultural traditions, as these are exploited, yet celebrated, simultaneously. Perception of space in the themed environment, without apologies, is inauthentic, but never-the-less successful, and delightful moments for the viewer. Intentionally, architecture is manipulated in order to impart the necessary factors which will aid in promoting happiness by use of ironic realism. Despite pretentions, everyone enjoys themed experiences at some level. Ambivalent designers are not undermined by the pristine and ineffectual notions the design profession propagates on what characterizes good design. Rather, the successful destination architect gives social value and art to underappreciated human elements in architecture. Human experiences and moments must include not just subtle design considerations, but the human emotional need for the bold and brash as distractions from the world of work, from which the viewer wishes to...

...Olin Business School Washington University S-02-001 Published: 2002 Revised: 2009 Disney Corporate Strategy (A) Barbarians at the Magic Kingdom’s Gate* Introduction The next big takeover fight – and it would be a beauty – may involve Walt Disney Productions. By the time you get this issue, Disney’s defense strategy may already be unfolding. But it will produce no quick victory for Disney even if a white knight comes along, and even if the principle attacker, Saul Steinberg, can be bought off. One by one, Hollywood’s great studios have been plucked by the smart out-of-town moneymen. Paramount by the late Charles Bluhdorn. Twentieth Century-Fox by Marvin Davis and Marc Rich. MGMUnited Artists by Kirk Kerkorian. Columbia by Coca-Cola. Now, it may be Disney’s turn. But Disney will not go quietly. - Forbes, June 4, 1984 Ron Miller, Disney Productions’ CEO reflected on the remarkable events of the past several months. Disney, the symbol of wholesome family entertainment, had become the target of a hostile takeover attempt by a well-known raider, Saul Steinberg. Steinberg now owned 12% of the firm and was threatening to acquire more. While Miller had orchestrated several defensive maneuvers, Steinberg had now announced a public tender offer to purchase 49% of the equity at a price that was a 45% premium over where the stock had been prior to the raid. To fund this purchase, Steinberg was promising to sell the film library and certain real estate assets to outside investors...

...ULMS 157 Recruitment, Selection and Performance Management at Epcot Theme Park Introduction This case study examines the concept and management of performance in organizations. In organization and management studies the word performance has two meanings (Fineman, Sims and Gabriel, 2005). On the one hand it simply refers to how well individuals are doing the tasks, duties and job responsibilities assigned to them, whether or not they are achieving output targets and productivity goals, product and service quality standards and meeting customer expectations. It is also refers to personal performance, how well a person is doing in achieving the goals they set for themselves. On the other hand the word performance also relates to how people at work conduct or, more specifically, present themselves to others; how they interact with fellow employees, management, clients, customers, the general public, and so on. In this context the concept of performance takes on a rather different meaning. It refers to how everyday behaviour in organizations is about ‘putting on a performance’. In recent years this latter use of the term ‘performance’ has become increasingly popular in organizational and management studies, and is widely used to illustrate how the nature of everyday behaviour and social interaction at work - verbal and non-verbal communication, such as greetings gestures, posture, etc. - are essentially performances. ’The presentation of self in everyday life’ (Goffman, 1959:...
