Hong Kong Disneyland increases ticket prices by 9pc
The move follows losses last year and a HK$10.9 billion expansion plan; Ocean Park earlier announced it was raising its admission charge by 13.8pc
The one-day adult admission fee will rise to HK$589, while a child ticket will cost HK$419 – an 8.8 per cent rise.
This marks the fourth consecutive year of price rises at the park, an accumulated 48 per cent jump from 2013, when it charged HK$399 for adults.
But Hong Kong residents will be allowed to buy one-day tickets and annual passes at the previous rates within the next three months. Existing annual pass holders will be offered a 20 per cent discount if they renew.
“We’ve continued to add new experiences and new reasons to visit Hong Kong Disneyland, including the exciting new Iron Man Experience that will open to our guests next month,” the park said in a statement.
Tourism sector lawmaker Yiu Si-wing feared the price rise would further discourage mainland visitors, especially those from Guangdong province, from travelling to Hong Kong, despite the new attractions.
