Euro Disney, the operator of Paris Disneyland, reported Tuesday that its revenue in the first half of 2010 fiscal year declined 7 percent to 519 million euros (660 million U.S. dollars), reflecting the effect of lower attendance and occupancy at parks and hotels. The company reported a net loss of 114.5 million euros for the six months to March 31, 2010, 29 million euros more than the first half of 2009 fiscal year, while the theme parks income declined by 7 percent to 287.3 million euros and hotels income also dropped by 7 percent to 205.3 million euros. The above loss were caused by the smaller number of visitors attended theme parks, which was recorded at 6.5 million, less from 7.1 million in 2009 first half. Meanwhile, the Disney hotels occupancy rate also decreased from 85.8 percent to 79.6 percent in the first half of 2010, the report said. 'The continued challenging economic context is reflected in our first half revenue and net results, primarily due to lower attendance and occupancy at the Resort,' confirmed Philippe Gas, the chief executive officer of Euro Disney. He attributed the loss to the hysteresis of the economic crisis, saying the same period of last year was not fully impacted by the recession as guests usually book their vacation in advance. In its half year report, the company announced to launch a year- long celebration 'Disney New Generation Festival' and to open new attraction this summer to attract more visitors, hoping the other half 2010 to have better record. Euro Disney is the company that owns and operates Disneyland Paris in France, which comprises Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studio Park, Disney Village and seven on-site Disney hotels.
