The UAE has been going after those tourism dollars in a big way over the past few years. Furious 7 practically stopped to become an advertisement for the country’s tourism industry, making life there look like a swanky, sexy adventure. Meanwhile, theme park fans already have a reason to visit so they can visit Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, home to the world’s fastest roller coaster (and other rides that are pretty much big advertisements for cars most people cannot afford).
As movies continue to cater more directly to international audiences, the movie-based theme parks will follow suit. Tourists from all over the world used to travel to the United States to visit the likes of Disney World and Universal Studios. Now, these companies are seeking opportunities elsewhere, working to appease the people who are really driving box office revenues these days. So start saving for your 2018 vacation now. Tickets to Dubai aren’t cheap.
