Disneyland Resort Boon to Economy, Deserves Support
- Share via
In California, the tourism and travel industry is one of the state’s largest industries and generates a significant amount of revenue. It is a vital contributor to the diversity of the state and county economic base, yet it does not burden essential government services.
The proposed Disneyland Resort employs thousands of people and creates thousands of additional indirect jobs in visitor-servicing businesses such as hotels, motels, restaurants, retail shops and transportation. At full development, the Disneyland Resort will cement Disney’s position as the largest employer in Anaheim.
What good is fresh air if there are no people to breathe it?
Anaheim needs jobs, and revenue from more spending.
The Disneyland Resort gives all of this with the least adverse environmental impact.
Let’s support it overwhelmingly.
