For decades, Disneyland Resort has been an economic engine in Southern California, driving tourism, job creation and billions of dollars in revenue annually.
According to a new report prepared by economists from Tourism Economics, an Oxford Economics company, Disneyland Resort annually generates $16.1 billion in economic impact in Southern California and supports more than 102,000 jobs in the region (directly and indirectly).
“As we celebrate 70 incredible years in Southern California, we are deeply proud of the lasting impact Disneyland Resort has made—creating thousands of jobs, fueling the local economy and welcoming the world to this extraordinary region,” said Thomas Mazloum, president, Disneyland Resort. “And we’re just getting started—the decades ahead hold even greater promise, and we look forward to growing, evolving and contributing more to the community we call home.”
Disney further plays a vital role in driving economic growth, job creation and supporting small businesses across the United States. Disney Parks & Resorts generated a historic $67 billion in annual economic impact from coast to coast standing as a cornerstone of America’s tourism economy and beyond, supporting more than 403,000 direct and indirect jobs in California, Florida and in all 50 states.
