The all-weather water park not only brings unique competitiveness to Studio City, but also extends guests' stay time and other consumption, further enhancing Macao's exciting leisure and entertainment experience at the Asian and international levels, helping to promote government policies. "Macao's current focus is on food and shopping, and attractions are also essential," said Melissa Chung, Director of Attractions, Recreation and Spa at Studio City. "Macao's first water park is not only very valuable to guests staying at our hotel, but also serves the local Macao community and tourists, and provides more job opportunities for locals."

Since the opening of the outdoor section of the Studio City Water Park in 2021, it has been well-received by hotel guests and local tourists, and has won numerous major international industry awards.

Attracting the New Generation of Consumers:

Data shows that millennials have become the mainstream group of travel consumers today. They hope to enrich their lives through travel experiences and place more emphasis on obtaining unique experiences. In the popular hotel and resort model, having a unique water park experience can quickly make a hotel or resort stand out.

Located in the Maldives, the luxury 7-star Cheval Blanc Randheli is known for its charming natural scenery, pristine white sandy beaches, and crystal-clear turquoise waters. The resort offers a range of luxurious accommodations, including overwater villas and island villas. The villas feature spacious living areas, private infinity pools, and direct access to the ocean.

Cheval Blanc has upgraded its experience by adding one surf simulator and two poolside slides, not only enhancing the guest experience and attracting new tourists seeking unique and unforgettable experiences, but also allowing guests to enjoy surfing and water activities right outside their doors, helping to increase ancillary revenue for the hotel.

Enhancing the Playability of Large-Scale Entertainment Complexes:

Shanghai Yaoxue Ice and Snow World

Developing hotel resorts with water park facilities within large-scale entertainment complexes is also becoming a trend. Shanghai Yaoxue Ice and Snow World, the world's largest indoor ski resort, is a 350,000-square-meter project. In addition to an indoor ski resort covering approximately 90,000 square meters, it will also feature an indoor and outdoor all-weather water park with over 15 water attractions, a star-rated resort hotel, a multi-functional convention center, and an ice and snow-themed commercial town. Upon completion, it will become a one-stop destination for ice and snow tourism.

The combination of ice and snow entertainment, water park attractions, and other leisure and vacation experiences will provide visitors with a rich range of recreational activities and effectively extend the operating season. This forward-looking combination will help Shanghai Yaoxue Ice and Snow World become a new international benchmark in the industry.

In addition, the Grand Mercure Okinawa Cape Zanpa Resort in the southern region of Japan is adding three water slides to revamp the hotel's brand image.
