Three popular travel destinations are celebrating 50 year birthdays.
Disney World, Orlando
Disney World began celebrating the property’s 50th anniversary, with confetti cannons turned up to full blizzard, the only setting that Disney Parks marketers have. The promotional event will last at least 18 months and will include new roller coasters for Epcot and the Magic Kingdom; a new high-end hotelmeant to simulate travel on a “Star Wars” galactic cruiser; two new fireworks extravaganzas; limited-edition merchandise; and MagicBand+, wearable technology that will unlock (for a price) interactive experiences.
UAE
Dubai opened Expo 2020 in an extravagant ceremony Thursday that bathed the site’s signature central dome in light, a symbolic beacon for the city-state’s hopes that the world’s fair will draw tourists despite the coronavirus pandemic.
Delayed a year by the virus, Expo 2020 has over 190 countries taking part in the event that will last six months. The futuristic extravaganza, complete with individual pavilions feels like an entire city, built on what were once rolling sand dunes on Dubai’s southern edges.
After spending $7 billion on the site, Dubai hopes it will attract new businesses and draw more foreigners to buy properties in the commercial hub of the United Arab Emirates.
Starbucks
You dont need to travel much anymore given its over 30K stores around the world, but it is also celebrating its 50th birthday and the brand is synonymous with travel.
