Tokyo Disney Resort Looking for New Sponsors
The Tokyo Disney Resort has lost some of its sponsors…
Just recently, the resort lost a daisy chain of lucrative contracts with Nissan Motor Co., Takara-Tomy, Morinaga, Nihon Suisan, Nihon Hills and Colgate when agreements it had with these top firms all reached their end at the same time.
But the Oriental Land Co., operator of the Tokyo Disney Resort, isn’t too worried about it, even with a potential loss of 2 billion yen in revenue a year if no new sponsor contracts would be signed for two of the bigger attractions; Splash Mountain and the Western River Railroad…
“We see the current situation as nothing more than a coincidence that all the contracts ended at around the same time, Visitor numbers for the first half of this year were 3.3 percent up on the same period for the previous year, so we think things are now moving in the right direction.” (Source: Mainichi-msn.co.jp)
