 INTRODUCTION

Theme parks are star players in the tourism industry, and play a special and important
role in generating tourism demand. Theme parks are the main motivators for tourism trips to
many destinations and core elements of the tourism product. Competition in the theme park
market is growing also in terms of an increasing number of parks, but also relative to other uses
of leisure. But in different areas, the theme park market in seems to be reaching its saturation
point and the parks have to cater for visitors who are getting more and more experienced and
demanding. Given these trends of growing theme park supply, environmental constraints and
increasingly discriminating consumer demand, it can be concluded that theme parks, to survive
in this competitive market, must optimize is, given an ever increasing number of parks and
future trend of consumer behavior.

In general, theme parks can be defined as a subset of visitor attractions. Visitor

attractions are described as permanent resources which are designed, controlled and managed
for the enjoyment, amusement, entertainment, and education of the visiting public

Theme parks attempt to create an atmosphere of another place and time, and usually
emphasize one dominant theme around which architecture, landscape, rides, shows, food
services, costumed personnel, retailing are orchestrated. In this definition, the concept of
themes is crucial to the operation of the parks, with rides, entertainment, and food all used to
create several different environments.

5 1
 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The tourism general environment of the theme parks

The theme park and its total tourism environment need to be a place in which the entire
array of physical features and services are provided for an assumed capacity of visitors. The
tourism supply and demand market is the two sides that require close examination for theme
park planning. Insight in market developments is necessary for taking a longer term perspective
in theme park planning.

The economic environment of theme parks

The planning efforts of theme park are mostly directed towards improving the economy,
because the economic impact of theme parks is generally positive including: increased direct
and indirect employment, income and foreign exchange; improved transportation facilities and
other infrastructure for tourism that residents also can utilize; generation of government
revenues for improvement of community facilities and services; the multiplier effect within the
local and regional economy. Although improving the economy is an important goal, it will not be
achieved unless planning for the economy is accompanied by three other goals, enhanced
visitor satisfaction, protected resource assets, and integration with community social and
economic life.

The socio-cultural environment of theme parks

The impact of theme park operations can bring both benefits and problems to the local society
and its cultural patterns. A theme park in an area generates contact between residents and
visitors. This can be problematic in areas where the traditional cultural pattern of the residents
differs extremely from that of the visitors of a park. Also, when there is a substantial
socioeconomic difference between the visitors and the residents this may cause a problem. For
example, problems may include over crowding of facilities and transportation, over
commercialization, misunderstandings and conflicts between residents and visitors because of
differences in languages, customs, and value systems, and violation of local dress and behavior

codes. Theme parks especially have peak attendance figures, and therefore the concentration
of visitors in space and time is a major problem. On the other hand, tourism in an area may
improve the living standards of people and help pay for improvements to community facilities
and services if the economic benefits of tourism are well distributed.

The psychically environment of theme parks

Theme parks’ environmental impact is mostly negative and a cause for concern. As theme
parks have been designed specifically to accommodate the modern visitor, the environmental
impact of theme parks can include visual pollution like unattractive buildings and structures, and
large unattractive car parks. The space occupation of parks is enormous and mostly involves
destruction of parts of the natural environment. Other environmental problems are air and water
pollution, noise, vehicular and pedestrian congestion, and land use incompatibility. Therefore,
an essential element of theme park planning is determining the carrying capacities or use
saturation levels of the area.

The transportation of the theme parks

Passenger transportation is a vital component of the theme park system. Theme parks have a
relationship with transport systems in a number of ways: The transport networks make theme
parks physically accessible to potential visitors and therefore are an important factor in
determining the number of visitors a theme park is likely to attract. The e existence of major
theme parks and attractions leads to the development of new public transport services to meet
the demand of visitors. The transport is also important within destinations to make travel
between theme parks and attractions and between attractions and services as easy as possible.
The modes of transport can often be an attraction in themselves with passengers being
encouraged to see using them as a type of special event. The novel methods of on-site
transport are used to move visitors around the theme park in ways that will add to the enjoyment
of their visit. The planning of inter modal transportation centers is needed for domestic local, as
well as outside, visitor markets.

The infrastructure of theme parks

In addition to transportation facilities, other infrastructure elements include water supply, electric
power, waste disposal, and telecommunications. These components are usually planned by the
public sector. Even though private and independent decision making are valued highly by most
enterprises in all tourism sectors, each will gain by better understanding the trends and plans by
others. The public sector can plan for better highways, water supply, waste disposal, when
private sector plans for attractions and services are known. Conversely, the private sector can
plan and develop more effectively when public sector plans are known.

The institutional environment

The institutional elements need to be considered in planning the theme park environment. From
national to local governing levels, statutory requirements may stimulate or hinder tourism
development. For example, policies on infrastructure may favor one area over another. Also, the
administrative laws and regulations can influence the amount and quality of tourism
development in a particular area. Policies of the many departments and bureaus can greatly
influence how human, physical and cultural resources are applied.

Theme parks challenges

The first challenge for theme parks managers is to integrate the elements in the park
itself with all the elements defining the theme park environment in the theme park development
plan. For example, theme parks cannot function without transportation possibilities to bring the
visitor to the park, or food supply or accommodation to support the visitor’s stay.
Planning a theme park requires significant public private cooperation. More and more
public governments turn to the private sector for the provision of services and the production of
new products However, in order for such processes to run smoothly in theme parks, greater
understanding of the roles of both sectors is needed. All private sector players on the supply
side of the theme park environment such as, attractions, services, transportation, etc., depend
greatly on investment, planning and management policies of government.
Conversely, governments depend on the private sector for many tourism activities and
responsibilities. Therefore, cooperation between the public and private sector is essential.

8 4
 Another characteristic of theme parks is that their demand is highly seasonal. For theme
park planners seasonality effects mean that they need to plan the facilities in such a way that
whatever season or number of visitors in the park, the visitor experiences in the park are
optimal.
Also, when demand for rides, activities and facilities fluctuates during the day this can
cause problems for the park, such as congestion and time specific peaks at the rides, activities
and facilities.
For theme park managers, capacity planning and routing is therefore an important task
to deal with these problems. For example, to optimize the visitor streams in the park and to
minimize waiting times at the activities.
Another characteristic is the fact that theme parks face high fixed costs and low variable
costs. This means that the costs per visitor in the low season, when there are only few visitors in
the park, are much higher than in the high season, especially if the quality of the visitor
experience has to be maintained. Furthermore, each year parks require high investments to add
new exciting attractions to their product to attract the required level of visitors.
At the demand side, theme park planners may rely on marketers to actively try and
manipulate tourist demand, by price differentiation across seasons, special rates for early
bookings and bundling of services and visits over time or with other tourist facilities in the
region.
Similar to other tourist attractions, theme parks first and foremost provide enjoyment to
their customers. This implies that theme park managers face especially strong demands from
customers for new and exciting innovations in their services.
Special strategies need to be devised to deal with tourist variety seeking. Also typically a
diverse number of services within a park is required to promote repeat visits and to cater for
different members of visitors groups as seniors and children) and for different segments in the
tourist population at large.
This has important implications for theme park planning in terms of location and type of
activities that should be introduced and supported. Detailed consumer information often is
essential to meet these consumers’ requirements.
The costumers requirements place special demands on theme park planners in terms of:
meeting environmental standards imposed through (inter)national regulations and local
communities, by increasing demands in terms of landscaping and design, and financial
responsibilities in terms of managing large areas of land which need to be bought, leased or
rented depending on the organization’s financial management strategy.

 Another challenge facing theme park planner is that planning a park requires special
skills in terms of combining creative and commercial abilities. Theme park design is crucial in
determining the success of a park. In terms of design, several different levels can be
distinguished. First, rides, activities and exhibits have to be designed attractively and effectively
both in terms of initial appeal and usage. Second, landscaping and urban designs are required
to integrate the different single facilities into a whole based on the selected theme for the park.
And finally, activities and services need to be arranged that can support and increase consumer
experiences of the physical elements in the park.
There also are some more general features of the theme park product that are shared
with other services and that are a challenge to theme park planning.
Meeting consumer demand must be done however without compromising environmental
and socio-cultural objectives. Because the theme product is consumed and produced at the
same time, the service must be right the first time. Therefore, adequate theme park planning is
highly critical for optimizing the delivery of the theme park product to the consumer.
The final challenges facing theme park planners are created by the theme park market.
There is a growing competition in the theme park market, with an ever increasing number of
parks and many parks expanding their activities. Even more so, the tourist demand market is
facing demographic changes in the form of agreeing population, economic changes that lead to
tighter family time budgets because of an increasing number of double earner households, and
the introduction of new technologies such as multimedia entertainment that compete directly
with the traditional theme park market.
Knowledge of potential market origins, and interests, habits and other travel
characteristics of the population is a necessary but not sufficient condition to plan the several
components of the supply side.
It is important for the parks to know how consumers think, and what makes them visit or
not visit attractions, and when they want to visit a park. Also, for theme park planners, an
estimate of peak visitor volume is essential to the planning of every feature of the theme park,
parking, attractions, exhibits, toilet facilities, tour guidance, food services and souvenir sales.
It can be concluded that the challenges theme park planners face ask for planning
methods that can integrate the different components in the planning processes within and
across various levels of planning.
