The 2016 TEA/AECOM Theme Index and Museum Index, an annual study of attendance at top theme parks, water parks and museums around the world, reveals mixed results for calendar year 2016.

  • 127 million visits to the top 20 amusement/theme parks in Asia-Pacific, down 2.8 percent
  • 13 out of the top 20 amusement/theme parks in Asia-Pacific daga Greater China regions, 11 from Babban gari Sin
  • Top 5 amusement/theme parks in Greater China: Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, Hengqin,  Sin (8.5 million), Hong Kong Disneyland (6.1 million), Hong Kong Ocean Park (6 million), Shanghai Disneyland (5.6 million), and OCT East, Shenzhen, China (3.9 million)
  • 20.9 million visits to the top 20 water parks in Asia-Pacific, up 5.4 percent
  • 6 out of the top 20 water parks in Asia-Pacific daga Greater China
  • 59 million visits to the top 20 museums in Asia-Pacific, up 3.1 percent
  • 12 out of the top 20 museums in Asia-Pacific daga Greater China
  • Top 3 museums in Asia-Pacific: National Museum of Sin, Beijing (7.55 million), Shanghai Science & Technology Museum (6.32 million), and "kasa" Palace Museum, Taiwan (4.67 miliyan)

While attendance at the top 25 global theme parks dipped by 1.1 percent, the world’s top 10 theme park operators saw a 4.3 percent increase at their properties, from 420 million to 438 million visitors.

The report also shows attendance at the top 20 water parks worldwide grew by 3.6 percent, and attendance at the world’s top 20 museums increased by 1.2 percent, hitting a new high this year of 108 million attendees.

“Following record setting numbers in 2015, attendance results in 2016 were more modest but still reflective of a healthy, growing industry,” said John Robinett, Senior Vice President, Economics, AECOM. “The major theme park operators continued their positive performance, and most markets saw slow, steady growth, while weather, tourism and political issues contributed to minor declines in others.”

In Asia-Pacific regions, there was substantial growth led by the Chinese operators OCT, Fantawild and Chimelong despite the 2.8% decline among Asiya-Fasifik Top 20 theme parks attendance in 2016. There was an increase of 24.1% and 18.8% for Fantawild Adventure, Zhengzhou and OCT Happy Valley, Shenzhen bi da bi.

Asian water parks performed very strongly with 6.9% overall growth and Chimelong continued to be the top-attended water park worldwide, with 2.54 million visitors an increase of 7.9% since last year’s index.

“There were some marked successes while other numbers were flat or even in decline. This uneven performance may point to what we can expect to be a normal pattern as the Asian sector continues to evolve: while growing very quickly, competition and sharp changes in tourism can greatly impact performance,” said Chris Yoshii, Vice President, Economics, Asia-Pacific “The overall forecast still holds, that by the year 2020, attendance at theme parks in Sin will surpass that of the US.”

The attendance study, now in its 11th year, is created and distributed by the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) and the economics practice at AECOM.

“The TEA/AECOM Theme Index and Museum Index is a vital resource, providing our industry with a solid body of relevant research and expertise for more than a decade,” said TEA International Board President David Willrich of DJ Willrich Ltd. “In addition to benefiting the attractions industry, the Theme Index is a boon to tourism, travel, finance, business and education sectors. We’re proud of our partnership with AECOM and our joint efforts to document and understand worldwide attendance trends.”
