MARNE-LA-VALEE, France, March 27 (Reuters) - The opening of a new site at Disneyland Paris - which has become one of Europe's main tourist attractions since it launched in 1992 - will create 1,000 new jobs, said Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro and French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday.
Macron visited Disneyland Paris alongside D'Amaro to unveil the new areas.
Statements from Disney Leadership
"I believe we will continue to be the number one tourist destination. I believe that we will continue to add jobs. In fact, we're adding 1,000 jobs, just for this new land that we have built," said Disney CEO D'Amaro.
D'Amaro's Role and Company Performance
D'Amaro officially assumed his new role as Disney's CEO earlier this month, taking the helm of the entertainment colossus at a time of profound change.
His stewardship of the company's lucrative theme parks business, which represents 57% of last year's profit of $17.5 billion, had helped elevate D'Amaro to the post of CEO.
