In 2021, the industry’s road to recovery got under way. Theme parks had a remarkable 72% growth in attendance worldwide over the previous year.
In several parts of the world, attendance totals were approaching pre-pandemic levels. The extent of governmental limitations, the effectiveness of vaccine rollouts, and overall consumer confidence levels all had a significant impact on how quickly the economy recovered. With lockdowns, quarantines, and travel restrictions, China, which has been the driving force behind Asia’s growth in recent years, only saw a 25% gain over 2020. With a 136% increase in attendance over 2020, North America performed extraordinarily well because to pent-up demand and fewer limitations throughout the crucial summer months.
The market has continued to recover this year, perhaps with China as the notable exception. Despite ongoing difficulties with the labor market, the supply chain, and inflation, the industry is expected to continue its recovery in 2022 and 2023.
